hi msedge each family has its own style of working and entertaining too!! and whatever is on one watches on the tv. children will have their choice things and we the seniors may prefer other channels or programmes . in a family one has to adjust with all such things!! happy mylotting!!

i don't watch t.v. often. i just watch t.v. when I have to hear the news. Usually, I rely on internet in others. I usually just play my favorite t.v. program in youtube or any other streaming site. But our t.v. is always on as what have you said. My family always watch t.v. till the wee hours of the morning. My mother's favorite past time is watching t.v. She is always relaxed when watching tv

Well, there is also radiation in the computer so I might as well take care of my health. LOL. I sometimes advice my mom to lessen the hobby of watching t.v. but I can't help her. It's what keeps her relaxed.

in my parents house the tv is already on when i arrive and it will continue until noon when our favorite noontime show is on but after that the tv is already off because that is the time that i put all of my kids to sleep...then the tv is on again by 5pm because of local tv news and then deal or no deal and then tv patrol world by 7pm...then my sister arrives and she likes to watch her favorite primetime shows while studying and it can go on up until 11pm when she goes to bed...i do not really count how many hours the tv is on but for me on my part i watch tv maybe 3 hours only..and it has intervals...not just only one sitting and straight.

I usually spend very less time watching TV unless the program really catches my attention. Usually when I get home, I would turn on the computer and there sit there till I go to bed.

I love watching television and younger when I was not on the computer or playing a video game I was constantly watching television,now that I am with my fiance we do not watch television very often because we are usually busy either making money online on sites such as mylot,or playing video games,but we usually watch television before we get out of bed,before we go to bed,and while we are eating,because those are the times we like to relax.

hi dear chinniR. this is perhaps due to generation gap. people of your mom age particularly ladies in indian families are satisfied with all that ekta kapoor stuff on the television. where as the younger generation derives much satisfaction from computer related entertainment!!happy mylotting dear.

Our t.v does run pretty much all day and all night and not only downstairs but upstairs as well . I don't watch a lot of television but during the day it is on for the little one's and in the afternoon my son has it on and then in the evening either my husband or I are watching something so it is on all day weather anyone is really watching it or not . When it is just me at home ( which is not very often ) , I run around turning all the t.v's off as I would much prefer to listen to the quiet then have a t.v sound running in the background of whatever I am doing . I do have a few that I really enjoy watching like Big Brother but for the most part I don't care if I have t.v at all .

hi dear my only concern is that the radiation that we get from the tv is affecting all of us around!! the old and the weak get the maximum effect and they are suffering silently . can we have some control over it so that the noise and the radiation effects can be minimised consciouly!!

I watch far too much TV. It's on pretty much all day. My problem is that I'm disabled and I can't move around or do much more than sit and watch. I wish I could be more active and do other things, but most days I don't have the strength to do anything else!

My Tv goes on int he morning to catch the morning news and then off when I leave for work. If I return home during the day I don't even turn it on...because I always have the daily newspapers to read or a book. It comes on late nights when eveyrone gets home and then gets turned off at bedtime

For me it depend on the tv program, if it is very entertainingt i could watch for 24 hours a day even if i dont have to sleep. i admit im a tv addict. and sometimes i watch it again on youtube if i miss something. My day is not complete without watching tv.
