So, here it is.
Plain and simple. I'm about 2 hours a day on average, perhaps a tickle more. I like to chill in the late evening, feet up and wind down. Ah yes

If my TV is also my computer monitor, does computer use count as watching TV? After all, I am watching the screen of my TV....

If you watch shows on your PC monitor then sure factor that in.

I had to say four hours, but only because of the weekends. During the work week, maybe an hour or two, but on the weekends, the TV can be on all day or off.

Crap! Is this just me or all the media-watching in my household? There isn't a waking moment where someone in our house isn't watching something on some form of media! lol
(BTW, that's what happens when you're young, newly married, and don't have all the cool tech toys to waste time playing with... LOL)
ps.. if you don't get what I mean, don't ask.
Matt O. ...tivo what? ...dish dvr--uh... huh? ...cable dvr fees--you're kidding, right?

Are we talking full shows? Or commercial free? I watch one show on 2x speed, which lets me watch 1 hour in 30 minutes. Then, during the regular tv season, i usually have around 2 hour-long shows a night, which are 42 minutes without commercials... So 42+42+30= 1hr 54 minutes

Somehow I knew Mr.M was going to ask a few variables!
Real time watching
Whether you skip commercials doesn't factor into this poll. I skip and only factor my physical time. Like you I get 45 minutes for every 2 hours real time extra viewing. This allows me to sneak an extra show in

How about if I work in the IPTV business. Should I count all the TV I watch at work everyday?

Lol if you like! This is more of a pleasure rating (oo sounds dodgy) though. I've used all 10 poll slots. Can't add 16 hrs
