Are you a channel hopper?

I've stopped watching TV completely! I get everything now from Netflix or BBC iPlayer on my Playstation. Can't be bothered with working out when to watch actual TV - I'd rather have it at my convenience.

Now that there are so many channels - digital and Pay TV, I'm a compulsive channel hopper. I stopped looking at TV guides - now I just watch TV when I feel like it, and search around until I find the right thing.

I never used to be a channel hopper (I found it annoying when other people channel hopped) but, with the lack of interesting programmes, I have started to do so more. That's only in the evening, while I'm eating though. If I am not eating, then I'll just switch off.

My husband is. Oh how it grates my nerves!

I'm with Lindsay, with so many 'TV on demand' choice nowadays, I rarely watch normal TV. When I do, I stick to the few channels that air shows I can't find on-demand, so I do very little channel surfing.

You caught me, guilty as charged.
I hate 'add's' so I change, change, change.It's just me and the remote, and don't even think of coming and taking it off me....! I Bite

I do hop from channel to channel until something interesting comes up. Usually something does. If it really is all utter rubbish, I will turn the TV off, but it takes me a while.

I have been known to watch two and sometimes three programmes between commercial breaks - makes me miss having a VCR and think about getting something like TEVO to record one of them.

No. No. No & No!

Very rarely do I watch TV 'live' aired! If I do, it'll be ABC (no adverts), or SBS (very few adverts).

For the rest, I VHS tape, thereby 'time-shifting'! It also means I'm ONLY watching programmes I WANT to watch, no 'wasted' time, & as is a tape, I just 'zap FF' through adverts!
Way to go!

My husband certainly is. I don’t use the controller now, since all those extra channels started up! We do hate the ads, so he change channels then, back ’n forth, back /n forth! And he doesn’t mind watching a show or a movie when it’s already 1/2 way though it! I hate that, so i take my laptop to the bedroom, & catchup on my iview!
