I sometimes do watch TV especially channels that feature movies. And in TV's, commercial advertisements comes as intervals during the shows.Sometimes it takes just minutes and other times it's even longer.I wonder if you are patient enough to wait for the show to resume or rather change channels for a while and come back when the show is on again. In my case,I find it uncomfortable to keep on jumping from channel to channel so I try to enjoy the ads until the show which I'm interested on resumes.How about you?

I actually keep changing channels, at times during those boring commercials or when the news channels keep repeating same things over and over.

I do not do this, but my husband does, and it drives me crazy. He will watch a movie for about 15 minutes long enough for me to get into it, then he changes the channel. Then he will watch that channel for a few minutes, then changes it back to the original movie. I don't know if he is trying to watch two movies at one time, or what he is doing.

Yes, I do change channels every now and then, if not for the frequent commercial breaks. Just want to check out whether there are any other interesting shows going on in the other channels.

When I turn on my tv, I would first browse all the channels to see if there's something worthy to watch. I usually settle for a movie. It has no commercial break so I watched the whole way without changing channels. However, If I watch the local channel like sitcoms or "teleseryes" there's too many commercials and advertisements especially nowadays, it's the campaign season in our country. So I channel surf until the show I'm watching came back after the break ;) Sometimes I would find something more interesting to watch rather than the current show I'm watching, so I change the channel a lot so I would know if there's something good I'm missing ;)

I love watching Tv. The main thing that my mOm, dad, sister and brother doesn't like is when I'm holding the remote. WARNING! That's what I see in there faces when it's my turn. Transferring from one channel to another. I don't like watching t.v. ads. When commercial comes I just scan for some other things to watch.rolleyes

No, I don't. I barely watch the television because my roommate will do this. He will turn on a program and when a commercial comes on, begin channel surfing until he finds another program he likes. He'll begin watching that one, realize that he's missing the first program, and change it back. It makes it difficult to maintain interest in tv.

hi! No, i don't change them often, if there is something interesting to watch, like some movie on discovery or nat geo, or some music show :) , but if there is really nothing interesting i just switch it off, and read some interesting book or a magazine happy
