Do you watch tv?

Chop Chop · 13-04-2013 08:05PM #1

I have many tv's, the wife, kids all watch it.

When I get up at 05:00 I will watch some engineering stuff on discovery, but that's about it. Then off too work.

Anyone else?

Rarely. Maybe the news but that's about it.

Come Dine With Me all the way.

My TV has a braile function. I turn it on, lower the sound, close my eyes and feel the screen.

IM0 · 13-04-2013 08:06PM

sky+ so no

danslevent · 13-04-2013 08:07PM

Much prefer the laptop, no ads!

I have gotten so used to having no adverts watching tv actually inspires hatred, not relaxation like it is supposed...

Misticles · 13-04-2013 08:07PM

No. I watch utv.

johnayo · 13-04-2013 08:10PM

Taltos · 13-04-2013 08:11PM

Rarely - little on our box - so much more on netflix or those other sites

You do realise that Sky+ is still TV, just recorded?

crazy cabbage · 13-04-2013 08:17PM

Dont even have that sare view thing yet so no.....

:pac:

smallerthanyou · 13-04-2013 08:17PM

Mainly just sports and pointless. I can't live without pointless. Richard is my idol. Everything else I watch is netflix or stolen if not on netflix.

I spend at least five hours a day watching the telly.

Some of these days I might even turn it on.

Voltex · 13-04-2013 09:03PM

I used to watch telly all the time...till I got married and had kids!
Im lucky if I can grab 10 mins on the bog by myself let alone enough time to watch a program!!

I almost never watch the television. The only thing I do watch is Star Trek while I cook. Sometimes I'll find a good show and watch the whole lot over a week on the Interbutts, but mostly I just listen to music or watch movies. I find it harder to get into a show than a movie, and it's definitely harder to find one I'll like watching than a good film I'd enjoy.

Duff · 13-04-2013 09:06PM

Watch the Champions League on it. The rest I watch online.

Peregrine · 13-04-2013 09:08PM

Just news, rugby and some Top Gear the odd time. Youtube and Netflix for everything else.

Mad isn't it, I can't understand how my wife and kids are glued to it.

I just never liked it, I'm a fecking nerd. All I do is pull the plum to engineering stuff.

Thinly veiled, pulling your plum to a Bunsen burner thread.

Ruu · 13-04-2013 09:11PM

The odd documentary or news but not much else. Stream or DVDs from the library.

Dr Silly Bollox MD · 13-04-2013 09:20PM

Netflix, streaming, sky+, DVD, torrents aren't TV?

Who knew?

Kichote · 22-05-2013 02:39AM

No and I havn't instead replaced it with some streaming service and I rarely watch any videos at all besides the odd youtub video if I think its actually useful to watch. I particularly dont like Netflix because of DRM and Silverlight.

If there is someone else watching something vaguely interesting I might join them but wouldn't sit down when Im bored to watch telly. There is always something more interesting to do.

looking_around · 22-05-2013 03:17AM

I didn't even have a tv til I moved in with my partner.

I only get into maybe one or two series at a time and I might watch them online on a day that I'm ill or w/e.

I read and lurks the internet, feels like I'm doing 'something' rather than staring at the pretty colours :P

OneArt · 22-05-2013 04:06AM

I watch all my programs on the Internet. I detest not being able to watch what I want when I want to which is why I never bothered getting a TV. Also German TV is absolute sh!te (and I thought RTE was bad...).

While I can understand older people being surprised, people my age in Germany are always amazed that I don't have a TV or radio. Wtf is the point if you have the Internet?

ONeill2013 · 22-05-2013 04:37AM

online TV would still count as TV, just on a different display monitor. I watch a lot, but i'm in the industry so it is excusable, mostly documentaries though.

whirlpool · 22-05-2013 04:43AM

I do not watch tv. We never had a tv growing up. I actually didn't even know what a tv was until I was 15.

No, only joking. I watch tv probably more than is healthy for any living creature. But generally on less-than-legal streaming sites - very rarely on an actual television set.

Oink · 23-05-2013 11:09AM

Hi, my name is Oink, and I have been TV-free for 24 days

.

It was easier than I thought. Except the part when I had to delete all the episodes of NCIS, Hawaii 5-0 etc that I had recorded...

I have loads of time to practice my music now

bonzodog2 · 23-05-2013 11:26AM

At home, just a few programmes on BBC4 via iPlayer, on the laptop. When I'm elsewhere I have other stuff inflicted on me.

Seachmall · 23-05-2013 11:32AM

Don't watch it anywhere near as much as I used to, maybe an hour or two a week.

vitani · 23-05-2013 11:32AM

At the moment, the only program I sit down and watch at its scheduled time is The Apprentice. Otherwise, I don't really watch much. When Dexter starts back in June, I'll acquire it and watch it when I get a chance, but that's pretty much it.

I don't get much free time and I hate wasting it on TV. I probably sit down once a week and just switch it on to see what's on but rarely even make it to the end of a program before I have to go do something else.

Actually, that's a lie. I see plenty of Peppa Pig, In the Night Garden, Hubble, Thomas the Tank Engine and whatever else RTÉ Jr shows.

Do you watch tv?
