Does anybody else do with films on TV?

[Urban Sports]

Buy films on DVD and never watch them, but when it comes on TV no matter what time it is you'll think "cool look what's on", and then sit and watch it even though you've had it on DVD for ages?

Must stop doing this

[Pesty]

Yes, makes no sense at all but yet I still do it.

Have many many DVDs watch about 2 a year.

[Stevenj214]

All the time.

[Jasandjules]

Yep.

And then the film comes on TV and we say "we won't bother watching that because it'll have adverts and we can watch it on DVD/Blue Ray".........

[m444ttb]

I thought this was just me! I watch films I have on DVD, didn't watch that long ago, and are on far too late!

[chris watton]

I've even rented films from Love film, only to realise I already have the DVD!

[davepoth]

And that's why I never buy DVDs. Even though the only film this ever seems to happen with for me is "TimeCop".

Haha, yes!! Sometimes they still have the cellophane on and I have it on sky plus!!!!

[Cotty]

I do until the first advert break, then dig out the DVD and continue watching.

[bexVN]

Yes. All the time! What is stupid is that I end up staying up too late at night watching a film on TV that I could watch at anytime on the DVD!

[Thin White Duke]

I'm guilty of this too. I have for instance all the Dirty Harry films on DVD, but everytime one comes on TV I end up watching it, even if it'sd late on.

One thing I do also is record a film, never watch it and then perhaps a year later watch it on TV.

[Urban Sports]

Just realised I missed the 'this' from the tittle!

Could somebody change it please?

I do that as well, I think I still have things on tape from the 80s I haven't watched

[KaraK]

Guilty as charged.. I once watched Apollo 13 on ITV (so there were adverts) when the DVD was sat on the TV stand and was in plain sight of me.

[va1o]

Nearly every time! It seems bonkers thinking about it, watching a film on ITV with all the adverts when you could just play back the dvd

[Murph7355]

My other half does it all the time. Thought it was a woman thing myself...
