Do you even turn on your TV?

[Alex Z 848]

Barely, I mostly use it for gaming. I don't really watch a lot of TV anymore except for a few shows.

[Noei 718]

I don't even have tv.

 

........

 

No, I am seriously.

 

Why use TV when you can have it online?

[BayoUni2847 528]

I only use my TV for gaming and that's it.

 

The TV in our living room is for shows and movies and I barely ever watch it.

[catnet 9,356]

I use my TV for gaming and to watch DVDs, and that's pretty much it. :/ The one in my room can't even access other channels; I never saw a point in adjusting it to do so, since I can just watch anything I'm interested in online.

[Sommar 1,289]

I rarely turn on the TV to watch a show, let alone a movie. There is nothing really worth watching on TV anymore.

[DubWolf 17,263]

I don't ever turn mine on unless I'm going to play a video game .

[PoisonClaw 8,164]

To watch TV? Never, I don't even have it hooked up to cable. Only time I ever really turn on my TV is to either play games or watch YouTube videos through my PS3.

[Creamy Arty 6,252]

My TV is my computer monitor, and I use it as such and for gaming (PC gamer anyway, so that's convenient). Haven't really watched TV of my own accord since 2007. Not really interested either.

[Celtore 2,770]

Pretty much never. I only turn it on when I'm doing something time consuming in the kitchen like baking or when my parents have jiggered it up somehow.

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

I rarely use my TV anymore I only use it if I play my console and I don't play often *hugs* =)=)

[Nit Pick 247]

I do normally browse the comments before I comment.  However I am a part of a majority and say that I use it for gaming, Nutflix, Solu, and movies and tv show episodes I bought on Xbox Live.  I also use it for Youtube so that I free up a computer monitor.

I don't watch TV. To be honest, I only sit there if my brother's watching and I feel like annoying him.

I have a TV in my room which isn't connected to Fios, so I use it for gaming and YouTube vids.

[Jackleberry 1,922]

I don't even own a TV myself, nor do I use the one we have in the living room (not even for gaming; PC user here). So, nope. :3

[Sceethe 704]

i have a computer.

well,multiple, since my phone is basically one,too.

 

especially nowadays, in times of the internet, i really don´t see a reason to even own a TV anymore.

[chirox the pony 1,336]

I don't really watch much TV anymore, the only show I watch on TV nowadays is "Russell Howard's good news", and maybe Jeremy Kyle if it's on. 

[SilverStarApple 849]

Nope. I don't even have a tv in my college house's room. Not for any political reason, I'm just poor as hell.

[Wind Chaser 4,768]

I have my own TV in my bedroom and to be honest, I rarely use it, even for video games (I've had two PS3s crash on me so now I'm using a PS2). I used it much more when I had my PS3.

 

I use it mainly during the holidays when the Christmas specials are on, and occasionally for NFL games. What's even worse is that I don't have cable on my TV (too expensive, we only have one cable TV in the living room), so the programming choices are much more limited, especially if you're into cartoons in which case the only choices are PBS and qubo.

 

The Internet is so much better.

[Sekr Gray 520]

Giant HDTV, only I use it when I play that rare PS3 game. Which is only when company is over for Thanksgiving, and we only do Marvel vs. Capcom. So, discounting the holiday, it's never on b/c of me. 

 

The rest of my family however seems glued to it, watching it when we have supper in the front room. By now I just ignore the shows/movies and just try to hop onto the currently available desktop for some gaming, while I have a chance.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

Not really. Like others have said, I only turn it on when I want to play a video game (on my Wii).

[ponylaces 1,870]

I might be the only one here who actually uses their TV

 

I use mine to watch shows, or I leave it in the background while I'm on the Internet. I also use it to play video games on my Wii and GameCube. I don't watch DVDs on it much anymore.

[Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883]

What's a TV, you mean that black flat thing that sits in the corner of my room? Seriously though, I really don't touch it at all, the internet is the source for all digital media, however I will say I do sit down with my family or at some other place other than my house and watch it if someone else is, but at home and on my own will I would never use it.

[Wingnut 6,992]

Yes, but just for the news, sports, and a handful of programs.  Most of the viewing I do nowadays is on my computer. 

 

Hopefully I'm prolonging the life of my TV by using it infrequently. 

[Peppermint Larry 203]

I have my computer and my PS3 hooked up to my TV. But I rarely even touch my PS3 because of school, among other things. I havent touched my computer recently because it just stopped working, until last night. Last night I got on my new one I got for Christmas 

 

For the television itself, I do like turning it on every once in a while solely for white noise. When I'm feeling lonely, I need to surround myself with people's voices. I hate watching the news, though. Everyone's killing everyone, here. 

[Simcity11100 772]

Yeah, I use it as a giant monitor, seems to work great for that lol

[Invincible 2,091]

I don't even have a TV anymore. With the improvement in internet technology, the current internet speeds cover just about anything a TV has to offer for me; news, on-demand videos, anything and more and i don't have to pay the bills for cables, even. What's more is i have a large HD screen (computer monitor that is), so watching media or connecting a console works just as fine.
