Ok what percentage of your day do you spend in front of the TV?

I'd say about 10%, it depends on the day. I just bought Boondocks Season 2 and I have been watching those DVDs none stop for like two weeks. So when I got Uncle Ruckus on the brain then maybe like 20%. IS THAT BAD?

Whilst I do watch some series when they are on, I don't have tv coming in my house anymore. This may sound strange, but when you think of it from an English point of view, we are expected to pay each year for a TV license to receive tv in the household (yeah, if you are american you're think 'pure madness' right now)

So, I watch some shows, but they haven't even aired in this country and don't come from Britsh broadcasting sources and not watched via traditional equipment. I do not have a tuner on my tv, dvd or pc that is connected to an aerial. My TV's tuner electronics are broken actually. My pc's TV-in card is removed. Not a lot I can do about the tuner in my dvdrecorder right now without opening it and getting the soldering iron out.

There honestly isn't anything I watch in my home. I watch Doctor Who at my parents when I take my kids round. But being a student and too busy on other things around the web and in real life I have simply stopped watching tv. A recent poll in the UK came back with 47% of teenagers had stopped watching TV too!

So, for the purposes of this poll, I 'do not' watch TV in my house (as per the poll) but I do watch some TV programming elsewhere.

... we are expected to pay each year for a TV license to receive tv in the house ...Is that in lieu of any type of cable or satellite connection or in addition to?

It's like when you need a license to fish, or to hunt, or to transmit signals. We need one to receive signals

(More of curiosity question if anything.)

Quick, if you see one of these (http://www.oobject.com/category/sinister-bbc-spy-vehicles) on your street, turn off the TV!

LOL Detector vans!

Usually, the TV is on when I come home, and I end up setting up my laptop in front of it and absently watching whatever is on while I surf the Internet. The TV goes off for dinner, and then usually back on from 8-11. Then we go to the bedroom and watch The Daily Show and The Colbert Report until we fall asleep.

My life makes me sad. :(

I watch wrestling, heroes, family guy, and southpark

Sometimes the occasional reality show.

There is this new fantasy show coming out that looks good, legend of the seeker.
