Anyone Still Watch TV?
 

I know since I got a computer with high speed internet in the early 2000s I've haven't had a tv since. Anyone watch tv on a regular basis?

I watch TV online, but not on an actual TV.

Sports, thats about It. All series etc I feed from the computer.

I cancelled my hd cable a couple of weeks ago. Kept my cable internet.

I guess I'm a minority here. I prefer a really big tv to watch. Even though I watch video over the Net, nothing beats watching Breaking Bad on a tv set.

I watch TV to get myself away from the PC..

I watch most stuff through an s-video hookup to the big tv. It works well enough if you play from the video cache with media player classic and the source was HD.

I think cable tv should offer web subscription service. There's allot of shows that I don't see because they don't stream online. I'm surprised they don't offer a live streaming service for all cable channels online yet.

I think there's untapped billions to be made out there with online cable tv.

There's a similar service with direct tv but you already have to have a cable tv subscription with a cable box

I have the DirecTV HD package with the included DVR and I like the convenience of programming my favorite series and recording newer movies from the movie channels as well as watching the HD picture quality on my large screen HDTV. I only watch tv shows or movies on my computer or my media server hooked up to my tv as a last resort because the convenience and resolution are just not the same.

I'm not a big tv watcher. Mostly just sporting events or the news, but everything else I catch online.

The last time I watched TV was during the Bin Laden death. Then I noticed political sites had the latest information and TV was repeating the same thing for 2 hours

I still watch TV most of the time.

Until they have big wide screen and surround sound. I will stay watching the TV.

Just watch it to get away from the computer and get a real life.

I very rarely watch TV. Probably less than 30 minutes a month, not including MMA; however, I do watch a few TV shows online.

I still watch TV. Sorry, but there's a huge difference between watching on a 24 inch computer screen and a 60 inch flat screen TV.

However, most of what I watch is recorded on the DVR. There's a handful of shows I'll watch when it's on, such as Sons Of Anarchy or Justified.

I watch TV in my theater room every night, big difference seeing it in 120 inches of HD 3D clarity than a monitor. I have Verizon FiOS HD and we don't watch live TV very often at all anymore. If I see a funny commercial while fast forwarding ill stop and rewind but most of the time we finish shows in about 43 minutes. I download some shows if we can't get them on the DVR/OnDemand or I have too many shows recording. I dont see us watching TV on a computer until I build one for the theater room.

Hehe in that case I do watch TV all the time, I ofc have It(47" sony led) hooked through hdmi to my computer.

haven't watched a tv since around 1993... but i do watch television shows on the computer...

Most computers now have HDMI out. No reason you can't hook them directly into a 7.1 receiver and a screen as big as you can afford. Just buy a htpc case and most people wouldn't know it was a computer. I have a computer at every TV in my house and stream videos from 1 main server I have hidden in a closet.

Yup, still watch TV to get away from the computer and spend some time with family bonding over a couple TV shows.

I also like to get away form the computer and lay out on the couch and watch TV, even if it's only zapping.

I don't :pimp

Netflix.COM baby :thumbsup

I watch sports and some movies as well as a couple comedies

I still do every other day with the kiddo, and sometimes a good flick with the gf with a big bowl of popcorn.

one thing the computer hasn't yet replaced is the ability to flip around numerous channels.

Not really, except for football matches:)

Hmm, do I watch it on a 50 inch widescreen or a 19 inch monitor.

hmmm

decisions decisions.

Yup, pretty much sports, if not an actual game then sportscenter

Hindsight is 20/20. Should have asked who pays for television programming instead of who "watches tv". I think most of us who dont pay for the programming still use our large tv's to watch and maybe our computers to record or store programs. You know it's nice to just use the old indoor antenna and get 15 channels for free :) Over the air HD is actually cleaner as it's not compressed for transmission through cables.

Then they are watching the TV. :thumbsup

You can download breaking bad and watch it on that same TV.

I need to cut back on the amount of TV I watch. Mind you, once the Stanley Cup playoffs are done, my TV watching drops almost off the chart.

I love kicking back watching TV on my 52 inch and flipping through all the digital cable channels. I couldn't imagine sitting in my desk chair watching a 2 hours movie on the PC, awful.

QFT - I need a little TV now and then to relax

Nothing beats a HD flat screen and a comfy couch!

The last time I watched TV was in........2001... something like that......I guess after 9-11.....

I still watch loads of sports on tv. Looking forward to the new F1 season this weekend! :thumbsup

the TV is the first thing i switch on in the morning and when i go to bed i put it on timer to switch off after i fell asleep. but i rarely "watch", it's more that i just listen and to have some background noise

s-video...go hdmi

Hmm, do I watch it naked in a warm bed with a laptop on my chest & porn tubes open in the background for immediate access to quick wank breaks, or sat upright and fully clothed on a shitty sofa with the heater going full blast.

hmmm

decisions decisions.

amen!!!!

Usually only while I'm in bed

agreed :thumbsup

same here.
