Data Collection and Sampling
Sample Distribution - Geographic Data Collection
(% & N= by State & Territory) § The Australia SVOD Study was conducted as an interactive online survey.
The target population are internet users aged 15 years of age and above.
§ Respondents were sampled according to representative quotas for age,
gender and state or territory, correspond preliminary estimated resident
population (ERP) of Australia at 31 December 2018 provided by the
Australian Bureau of Statistics.
§ The sample sourced was a consumer panel powered by Dynata.
NT: 0.5% Fieldwork Period & Sample Size
N=10 QLD: 21.7% § A total sample size of 2089 respondents completed a structured survey
WA: 10.4% N=454 composed of primarily closed-end questions with four open-ended
N=218 questions related to unmet needs.
SA: 8.2%
§ On average, respondents spent 18 minutes to complete the survey which
N=171 NSW: 28.2%
ACT: 2.2% was fielded between April 6-16, 2019.
N=589
N=45
Confidence Level & Margin of Error
§ Online access panels are by definition non-probability based samples.
TAS: 2.3% VIC: 26.5% However, at 95% confidence level the predicted margin of error
N=49 N=554 is 2.14%. This means, there is a 95% chance that the real value is within
±2.14% of the surveyed value.
Total Sample Size: N=2089
8METHODOLOGY - II
Demographics and Universe Projections
Sample Distribution - Demographic Representative Measurement
(% & N= by Age and Gender) § The survey is designed to be representative of the Australian population
aged 15 and over and projectable at a National level only, i.e. samples
are not designed to support regional comparisons.
Gender Female: 51% Male: 49% Projecting to a National Universe
§ The nature of online surveys and adherence to The Australian Market &
Social Research Society (AMSRS) Code of Professional Behaviour, limits
15-19 years 6% N=118 the practicable ability to interview those under the age of 15 years.
§ To yield projections for total market, i.e. including users aged 0-15,
20-34 years 27% N=570 AMPD Research used data collected by respondents on household
WA: 10.4% composition & the presence of children in order to estimate the total
N=218 user-base (viewers) of individual video-on-demand (VOD) services.
35-44 years 17% N=357 § For the purpose of determining household penetration estimates, where
the respondent is also the VOD service account holder, the projection
45-54 years 16% N=338 assumes the panellist represents the characteristic of the household in
which they they reside.
55 and over 34% N=705

Household Income Profile, Data Quality and Calibration
Sample Distribution – Monthly Household Income Data Quality
(A$ % ) § AMPD Research uses stringent measures to ensure data integrity and
quality respondents, including logic & repetition tests and open-ended
questions for screening-out bots. Additional measures include checks for
speeders, straight-liners and non-response.
Less than A$ 2,000 16% N=143 Calibration & Adjustments
§ Online surveys can generate inflated results for certain question types &
topic areas. AMPD Research has developed a set of validated1
A$ 2,000 – 4,999 35% N=724
proprietary formulae to adjust for respondent over-claim to ensure
accuracy that includes the following areas:
A$ 5,000 – 9,999 24% N=504 • Claimed usage & subscription: We adjust for overclaim by
WA: 10.4% weighting responses based on recency of exposure, where more
N=218
recent engagements are given a greater significance.
A$ 10,000 – 14,999 8% N=173
• Claimed viewing duration: Respondents typically have difficulty in
recalling time spent viewing, so we employ a method that asks the
A$ 15,000 & above 4% N=87 number of movies, TV shows and sports events watched in past 7-
days and a apply a standard minutage to each type of event.
• Cancel/Upgrade Intent: We apply weights to responses as follows:
Refused/Don’t know 12% N=257
ü 1. Definitely will happen - 80%; 2. Probably will happen - 50%;
3. Probably won’t happen - 20%; 4. Definitely won’t happen –
0% 25% 50% 75% 100% 0%;
1 The AMPD Research proprietary formulae for adjusting over-claim in online community panels has been validated by comparing observed and recalled behaviour with passive media data and survey data.

Net Promoter Score® (NPS) Calculation and Interpretation
Net Promoter Score (NPS) Net Promoter Score2
Q. How likely is it that you would recommend BRAND to a friend or § Net Promoter Score (NPS) is a widely used tool to gauge customer

§ The NPS is calculated on a scale of 0 - 10 in response to the question:
“How likely is it that you would recommend to a friend or colleague?”
§ Scores of 0 - 6 are considered “detractors”, 7 - 8 are “passives” and 9 -
10 are classified as “promoters.”
§ The final Net Promoter Score is calculated by subtracting the percentage
of customers who are “Detractors” from the percentage of customers
