Ever since I got a laptop i usually sit on the couch in front of the tv. The tv is on in the background and I will glance at it once in a while but my main pre-occupation is the internet. Do try and watch the news though,or some of my favourite series…

You can grab a few hours without really noticing it, especially if the shows are good. New Invetors, SImpsons, Numbers, and SBS and/or Channel 2 news will do me around 6 hours a week. I can see 13 to be pretty easy to get to if you like TV, or use it to kill time. In fact I’m surprised that the figure is not much higher.

I watch SBS News, obscure movies (SBS) and some sport but I have the teev on while I’m online – so that’s 13 hours I s’pose.
Used to have a house party for Lost but they screwed round with the programming so bad that I download that now too! Willing to watch the ads with a bunch of people but the fools pushed us away.

I only watch stuff I’ve downloaded or live sport. I reckon I average about 10 hours per week. So many other things to do that I only watch TV on purpose, not on autopilot everynight.

"how do people find 13.3 hours of TV worth watching each week?"

Most likely on SBS.

I watch very litle TV that is broadcast to my actual television. What TV I do watch is downloaded and streamed, when I want to watch it. Only a couple of programs, but the key there is that it is on my terms not the TV company's.

So it is technically online use I suppose and not TV - but I am not online when I watch it as it is downloaded the night before. So am I really watching TV or am I online?
