In the last year I haven't really watched many full episodes or films of anything except Family Guy or Top Gear on TV. I never watch the news, I leave the room if a soap is being watched, I'd say I get in 4-5 hours a week max, most of that being Dave. Internet usage however, mainly due to this place and Facebook is through the roof biggrin

about as long as Qi is plus that whitechapel thing, when the whitechapel thing ends it will go back to the length of QI.

I don't even own a tv anymore.
I spend a couple of hours a week on the i-player or 4OD.

for some reason i thought it was necessary to purchase a tt off television hang it on the wall and never watch it. I switch it on for music sometimes.....that's it.

Depends what you count as TV smile

With the likes of Lost, Battlestar Galactica, Grand Designs, QI, etc... I probably watch around 10 hours of TV shows a week. However I do watch a lot of films on top of that.

Programs I will not miss: Lost, Topgear, Have I got news for you, Who do you think you are
Programs I try not to miss: Grand Designs, QI, Question Time, Desperate Housewives, Masterchef

I work a lot from home so will often have the news, a movie or paramount comedy on in the background while I am working.

I guess I average 10-12 hours of 'watching'a week.

Internet - from 9am-midnight I am typically online. If I am busy with work I may only have 1-2 hours a day of personal browsing - other days I could happily spend 10 hours browsing for fun in a day.

I used to watch 4-5 hours a day, but now I have it on in the background, I watch probably 1 hour a day and spend 3-4 hours a day on PH (plus a little eBay & YouTube). PH is far more entertaining, original and educational...

Top Gear, F1 when it's the season, watch the first 10-15 minutes of the news most days, and the odd documentary or film.

I really dislike having the TV on in the background as it dominates the room and just seems to really kill conversation or activity of any sort. The Devil's window.

Same as most others on here, only watch 4-5hours a week, usually Dave or Discovery channel when Top Gear and F1 arn't on.

I watch top gear when new series is on and ANTM when having me dinner, thats it. Rest is internet or music. Oh and Movies, they don't count as TV.
