    I only watch satellite when there is sport on.

    For my Netflix, Prime, etc. according to my logs, this year I am averaging 14.2 hours of TV per week. 5 years ago I was watching 17.9 hours per week.

    I just watch the Angelus, if I miss it I suffer withdrawals.

    Only really use TV for sport these days.

    Everything else is online.

    Please don't patronse.

    I did away with the tv completely a year and a half ago.

    I bought an internet radio and listen to rte radio 1 (John Creedon in the evenings, for instance), RTE 1 extra for historical documentaries, RTE Gold for memories and more and some streaming music services.

    The tablet compliments this.

    If you are using the net to watch tv shows, it it not basically the same thing?

    I have a Roku so I watch Netflix and YouTube videos on the television. If that counts as TV I watch about three hours a day. I haven't watched actual broadcast television in months.

    Last had unlimited access to a TV when I lived with the Mammy in my youth; haven't had once since.

    25 years TV-less and still sane! :D

    I probably watch 3-4 hours a week, used to watch more but I've lost interest in most of what's on the television.

    I don't watch any programs on the internet, i go on Adverts.ie, read the online newspapers and email my family who live abroad!! oh and the dreaded FB, but have to admit, FB is just checked for PM... for me TV is the weapon of mass distraction!!

    TV goes on for the RTE News at 6 the Countryfile weather on a Sunday.

    As it should be.

    Watch about 3 hours of TV a day (more at the weekend) plus Netflix and downloads etc.

    I have found I watch YouTube for at least 2 hours a day and maybe only terrestrial tv or sky for matches or live events.

    About 5-6 hours a week.

    About 10 hours a day mainly watch the news channels for the best unbiased version of current events. It keeps me up to date on whats going on in the real world and I avoid all these "online" news sources because they can't be trusted.

    Zero - I've a free to air box that requires a phd and several studies funded by nasa to understand.

    I've 20 channel 4's, loads of blank screen channels, and the shalom wakbar channel.

    Been like that for about 4 years now, I'll fix it tomorrow.

    (returns to youtube)

    I never watch the actual TV. I just binge on shows I like, watch/listen to music on youtube and browse social media. TV as we know it is essentially for the elderly and very young atm.
