Do you mean Watch TV as in DVD/streaming, or do you mean watch broadcast TV?
If its Broadcast TV, None. Ever since Tochinoshin retired from sumo I dont watch broadcast anymore. short of like, breaking news or something.
If by DVD/Streaming… I dont know, maybe an hour in the evening? I have something on all the time, but most entirely for background noise and not being watched.
Bro you remind me of the convo I had at a coffee shop. I went in and asked for a cup of coffee and the cashier asked which one would you like cappuccino, flat white. Tall black and few more options. I just wanted a regular good old coffee. That very day I went to the shops and got myself a coffee machine.
Ooh I’m pregnant about to burst and pretty uncomfortable, so I am having a lot of screen time while I stay off of my feet and try to stay distracted from the discomfort. I’d say six hours on each day is not uncommon. Two hours at brunch time and four at night. And then I’m not counting the 4 hours possible added in the middle of the night when I can’t sleep from discomfort - I’m not really watching but I have reruns on.
Also, of course all of this is streaming, which imo absolutely is TV
I only watch television nowadays during major televised events, such as the FIFA World Cup, the Olympic Games, and the Eurovision Song Contest, alongside their respective spinoffs too (but I rarely watch those).
Other than that, my telly stays off virtually all the time.
My mind is blown by the number of people in this thread outright bragging that they watch 0 TV ever, that they only stream Netflix on their computers.
Assuming we are talking about watching shows and movies, in any platform, on any device, I’d say 1- 1.5 in the summer and 3-4 (per day) in the winter. I feel weird watching stuff while the sun is out, it’s like I’m staying home sick from school. Spring/summer I’m usually out gardening until it’s well dark, then a shower, then a show then sleep. In fall and winter it’s nice to be cozy and watch something after dinner until bedtime. I’m usually also doing a puzzle or knitting, or some other small craft that doesn’t take much attention.
It’s an incredibly rewarding hobby. I mainly do ornamental flowers because there are so many critters here that want to eat any veggies I try to grow, but I have plans for a chicken wire hoop house/veggie fortress this spring.
I’ve heard that it’s one of the best hobbies for mental health because it includes exercise and sunshine as well as immediate gratification (the way a bed looks after it’s been weeded, or a plant after it’s been carefully deadheaded or pruned, planting already blooming flowers from the nursery) and long term/delayed gratification (planting a seed that won’t bloom for months or years, encouraging native plants to flourish and crowd out invasive plants and weeds).
One of my favorite things is the volunteers, the flowers that come from the fallen seeds of flowers I planted. You never know what color they are going to be once they bloom, it’s always a fun surprise after waiting for weeks or months after spotting a little volunteer to see what color it will bloom!
In short - about 4-5 hours over those two days, and none the rest of the week.
In long - It depends, daytime we just listen to music but Saturday and Sunday are the days I watch TV. If I have “a show” (like we recently finished Scavengers Reign) we watch a couple of those each night; otherwise maybe a movie or couple episodes of Clone Wars as we are watching those too.
I’m probably the least TV watching of the household, though.
ETA: I’m interpreting this question as ‘big screen’ time, not literal broadcast TV. I see someone else said none because they only do streaming? Yes we only do streaming, that is what I mean by TV watching.
same here. almost always something 'on' just for 'noise'. actual 'watching' isn't all that much, an episode or two, or a movie, is usually about all. nothing off local stations, either. no more cable anymore, and can't get reception via antenna. what 'live tv' we do have on comes from a 'free' streamer like pluto.
One or two hours at most, sometimes zero. I asked my wife recently as to when did we watch anything on TV that wasn’t recorded or streamed. It’s been months. Most things watched on the TV is streamed via Netflix, BBC iPlayer, ITVx.
We’ve never had satellite, no cable, but just use streaming and digital terrestrial Freeview. The TV is pretty much an extension of our mobile phones.
I haven’t watched broadcast TV in years. I’ll regularly watch the main news show in my country but I’ll watch it on YouTube, just so I can skip forward if some right wing fuckwit spouts their bullshit.
I haven't watched television in years. YouTube is my main source of entertainment, closely followed by pirated TV shows and movies running through Kodi.
