I don't actually own a TV...
I do enjoy a lot of TV shows though, and will often watch DVDs of them or stream them online. Breaking Bad, Dexter and Hannibal are my most recent obsessions along with some sitcoms.
But no, I don't ever just have a TV on or watch it unless there is something very specific I want to watch (which isn't much...).
Currently watching Mythbusters on Youtube and watching Bones on DVD with the missus.
Only time I really watch live TV is for the F1 and for Top Gear and Doctor Who.
That is on my list of things to watch
I like it. It's a little bit formulaic and the adverts for Toyota that they crowbar into later series' are a bit cheesy but, as these things go, it's usually a good watch.
Found myself starting to prefer the internet much more than tv a few years ago and whilst I'd have the tv on, it would just be background noise and I was hardly paying attention. When I started hooking my laptop up to the tv so I could watch streaming football on the big screen it wasn't long before I got a wireless keyboard/mouse and kept the laptop perma-plugged into the tv. I now have a desktop PC plugged into it and use the tv as a monitor the vast majority of the time. Got into gaming on it too and don't watch much actual telly at all.
It's just there in the background and I don't really pay any attention to it... a bit like my missus. ;-)
I particularly dislike programmes where after every advert break they recap on what happened previously, as if I'm too stupid to remember what happened 4 minutes ago, and am fed up with all the background music especially on documentary programmes. The recent series Monkey Planet was so dominated with music that in some scenes I struggled to hear what Dr. McGavin was saying.

always have, not gonna change
I'm constantly watching TV series on Netflix. My To Watch list is so long, I don't know when I'm ever going to complete it.
My TV is rarely turned off. She's my best friend.
I watch the news most days, and HIGNFY, on Fridays, but never really scan the schedule to see what's on, if I'm in the sitting room and some thing interesting comes on , I'll watch it.I saw Gogglebox for the first time last week, that was enjoyable.

If that's the case, then why are the overwhelming majority of your threads whining about TV stations?
Did you not bother to check your history before posting this thread?
Sport and one off events being the exception.
I do have a good few shows I watch, but my viewing habits have changed somewhat over the years, because i'll basically series link everything and let it record for weeks on end.
During that time i'll usually primarily watch films or i'll be fannying around on my computer or something else along those lines. Then i'll go through a phase of 2 or 3 days where i'll watch things in blocks to catch up, then i'll go back to not watching very much again.
Sometimes we'll watch something or record it and we watch a movie now and again but we have a life that doesn't mean lots of TV.
So what is your point? You are too busy ( on here moaning about Facebook and shops that you think will close)
or you can't find anything to watch?
I probably watch the same amount as I always have, just different types of programmes. Only soap is Neighbours, then things like Arrow, Person of Interest, pawn stars, salvage hunters, Top of the Pops, The News, sport music and various films. Those saying they don't have a TV then proceed to list things like Netflix etc, you ARE watching TV. It's become a generic word for watching broadcast material. You are not being all edgy and alternative just because you watch TV on a little laptop or phone, you are just missing out on some of the stunning tvs you can get now.
