Does a connected PC count as using your TV? If not I guess there's the occasional on demand/netflix thing that goes on.

Of course I do, for Sunday-Night Fox Cartoons. I also game on my TV. Right now, I have an Xbox-360, PS2, Nintendo 64 and, Super Nintendo hooked up. To be fair though, I have to switch out the AV wires on the SNES and N64 if I want to play...the other one...I'm also actively looking for an NES. Back at home in GA I watch TV on the TV as well...sometimes...there are better consoles over there (or rather, more) including a Wii, Gamecube, Xbox-360 S, 3-in-1 Retro Console (NES, SNES & Genesis) and, PS3. There's a spare SNES there too and the one right here is going to end up being torn apart since it looks like it was attacked by a dog and buried. It works extremely well though which I find interesting.

Whenever I play PS3 or 360, which is pretty often. Also spend an hour or two every day watching TV, most often ending up watching QI or a movie.

Why would I have it if I don't use it?

Anyway, yes I do.

Watching movies, playing games, as well as watching the television programing itself. Constantly watching a computer screen tends to strain my eyes. Also, a TV feels more cozy than a PC.

I don't watch much "live" (read: non-DVD/Blu ray) TV anymore. I definitely use the TV for consoles and DVDs/Blu rays though.

Well, my computer screen is a TV so technically yes, but I don't actually watch television on it or anything. I usually just download (legally purchased downloads, by the way) a show or movie in the rare event that I want to see one.

I just use it for my consoles, I used to watch TV a lot more but my remote has broken and I haven't bothered to replace it.

I do for console gaming. That means the t.v. is sometimes off for weeks at a time while I'm into PC gaming. I haven't had any level of cable for several years now.

Not that it really means anything. The time I'd spend watching t.v in the old days is simply spent online now. One couch potato medium for another.

Hell yeah. I use it to watch my old tapes of MST3K on.
And now you've made me feel awesome. I will get you for this.
Fixed that for you.

OT - Well my PC and both consoles are hooked up to it so yes.

Do I use my TV?

Hell yea I do.
My PC and all my consoles are connected to it! 42? Screen FTW!

Do I watch TV programs? - Fuck no!
I haven't watch TV programs for many years (at least 10 or something) now and I don't feel like missed something. If I want to see a movie I just buy or borrow the DVD/BR.
If there is some major event like the world football championship then yea I watch some games. But that's about it.
The TV program here just got too stupid to bear...

Only occasionally while eating dinner. I watch movies on my PC, game on my PC, TV shows on my PC. Only time I sit down and actually turn on the TV is to watch movies with friends. Normally played off my laptop, streamed from my PC over the LAN. I had to ask my 47 year old father how to do something on the TiVo because I don't use it.

I usually watch tv for an hour or two every night. Usually Family Guy or American Dad is on so i'll watch that, and every night there's usually at least 1 thing on that i watch weekly.
So generally 1-2 hours at night, pretty much never during the day.

I do use my TV for watching films/dvds/blu-rays and also for my ps3... but not so much recently.

I watch the news sometimes, thats about it. I dont really like the scheduling on the tv. If I do watch tv, ill record it an watch it later, or access the website and watch it on there. It has ads, but theyre short, and its on my own terms.

Asides from video games? Very little, the odd time me and my girlfriend may catch a movie on (or adventure time), but I tend to avoid televised entertainment like the plague.

Sometimes I do. I still like to watch the Holy Trinity of channels sometimes; Discovery Channel, National Geographic and Animal Planet. History Channel on the side when it gets a little less ridiculous.
