I'm confused. Do you torrent things that don't appear on TV?
Ah, ok. I wouldn't feel sorry for tv watchers then. PVR a movie or doco from tv and it's the same thing.
Usually something of interest is on. PVR and you miss ads and can watch when you want. Doesn't seem like a reason to pity.
I didn't think you knew what appeared on tv? With 300 channels or so it is fairly easy to find a few hours a week.
Fair enough. Just don't see the difference of searching for a show on tv or internet.
Just regular cable. It has search options. Murdoch run media in Australia does sound terrible though.
I didn't think Australia was too far behind. I noticed my sister had 200 or so. Not like you have to flip through a guide anymore. You can search just like the net.
Nah, no chance. I'm only after a few hours viewing a week though. Couple of shows, a movie or two and some sport and I'm good.
An entertainment gadget really.

Only have Foxtel, can get reception to FTA.
Definitely sport and I enjoy some of the programs on the doco channels.
I usually watch other show types on torrents or DVD.

News a couple of times a week and a footy game if a good one is on. Aside from that maybe an hour. Most shows can be downloaded anyway or grab a DVD of the series which is what I tend to do. So counting downloads maybe 7-8 hours at a guess.
1-2 hours monday to thursday
plenty more on weekends

I pretty much have the tv on in the background all the time when I'm home but very rarely actually sit down and watch it.

TV as a direct medium is terrible. Haven't really watched it since I got my Internet addiction in year 10 and spent my night's in my room or if in the lounge, with my laptop open. Tele is dying. Less and less young people use it for the things it was always for: information, entertainment, to fill a void.
What's on there is still valid and useful though. People just get it online.

TV is better than it's ever been.
22 years ago I watched West Coast win the 1992 GF in my lounge room. I was 8 and we had a 34cm Akai CRT TV. I think we taped the game using the VCR then bought the official version with no ads etc. when it came out a few weeks later for like $30.
Last night Liverpool played Manchester City in a crucial late season EPL match on the other side of the globe. It broadcast live into my loungeroom in glorious HD through my 60 inch LED panel and surround soud receiver. Not going to be home? I'll just iQ it. Goal scored when I'm out of the room? I'll just rewind while the game is still going. Take that, 1990s.
For every Game of Thrones there are several Real Housewives or Teen Moms, but to go with advances in sound and picture technology access to the best programming of the day has never been easier.
I used to laugh every time the 'watch the 3 mobile test series on your phone' ads came on. Yeah that's a cool novelty if you're out, but if I'm at home and want to watch the cricket I'll just watch the TV. TV's going nowhere.

30-40 hours I watch stuff on the Internet a week. Although, it's probably more.
