In the truck I usually watch the news in the morning while I brush my teeth, shave and do paperwork, then after I park for the night I watch television for a couple of hours while I have supper and unwind.

None. I don't watch. Tossed my broken one out several years ago. They don't have the kind of programming I want to pay for. I want educational -- REAL educational, not just cooking shows or yoga lessons; Portuguese programming; World music MTV, and other stuff they're not ever gonna have in the U.S. unless one wants to pay a LOT more money than I can to order it. I didn't think paying for ordinary cable was worth it. One has to have cable where I live because of the topography. I wanted to choose my own "package" back then, not have the cable company lump in what they wanted me to see for their too-high monthly fees. I also live in a tiny studio apt. and would rather just watch on my computer if there's a show I want to see. AND there IS such a thing now (at least with the Mac). My neighbor just got one -- it's some kind of attachment that costs maybe $200. But then he has a TiVo too and pays for basic cable. I probably have too many other things I want more if I ever get $200 to spend though.

Difficult to say. Sometimes I have the TV on in the background while I'm cleaning up or whatever. Also, when I'm very tired, I'll sometimes crash on my bed with the telly on with the intention of eventually falling asleep. When it comes to actually sitting in front of it and watching, I think I average between an hour and two a day; sometimes more, sometimes less...

I don't watch TV. I really don't like how my brother has it on in the background on mute while he's facing his computer, his back to the TV. What is the point in that?

I think I'm down to around 2 on average; I've been watching less TV lately, although I still do watch a fair bit. There aren't as many shows on that I'm watching right now, though.

Most days, I don't watch any TV at all. Every once in a great while someone else has it on and it catches my attention.

Less then 1 hour typically.

Why would I want to hang out with the babysitter?

On average under an hour. Rarely more than the length of one tv movie.

It depends on whether you count watching downloaded TV shows on the computer as watching TV. If that's the case, then about an hour a day. The reception is so poor in my room that I only use the TV there for watching DVDs & movies on VHS. There's a TV in the living room, but I never watch it even though the reception is decent for the local channels. There isn't anyway I can sit close enough to make out what is happening on the screen to even bother with trying to watch it.

Zero  * frown *

I don't have cable where I live.

Otherwise, I'll easily spend 4-5 hours every day watching it, unless I'm really busy. I  * love * TV.

Depends on the day, I usually do two hours of actual serious watching, but that's on Thursdays when I watch both Bionic Woman and Heroes, but I do watch other shows miscellaneously other days and times.

About 3 or 4 hours. Maybe more if it's football season. I have a limit of sitting for more than two and a half hours. That's about the time for a good movie. Once I start, I like to watch it. Withougt interuptions.

Less now I have Sky+. Before I used to watch a show while waiting for another to come on, but now I just Sky+ my favourite shows and only watch them when I have the time. I dont browse anymore.

I'm watching a fair bit at the moment because I'm still on my Christmas holidays and haven't been well enough to get out and do much - mostly late into the night/early hours. I got the DVD boxset of the first season of Heroes for my birthday so I'm working my way through those. I'm quite enjoying them, but not as much as I expected to. I also rewatched some old Stargate episodes - just some of the best ones - when my cold was so bad that I couldn't sleep at all. Apart from that, I've been watching Whose Line is it Anyway? (why did I never see it when it was still being made? I love it!) and I'm enjoying the new BBC adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. Oh, and the new season of CSI: Vegas has just started so I'll keep up with that. I also saw the first episode of Damages recently, and enjoyed it so I'll watch the rest of that too.

So maybe 2-5 hours a day? But once I'm back in uni, that will fall to maybe an hour a day or less.
