Do you often change channels when your watching TV ?

Of course, my friend. Though I'm not a great TV viewer, but when I sit down watching TV, I often change channels as there are over 50 channels available on our local cable TV network, if I find any programme uninteresting to me. Sometimes, this happens that I'm watching a very good programme and at the same time I've to hear an important news in another channel. Then I've to jump between these two channels again and again understanding the situation. Have a nice day.

In this day and age of remote control , people tend to channel surf more than before when it was rotary. Yes, i do jump from one channel to the other until i find a show where i can lay my hat on through the night.

I can't stand watching commercials. I love my DVR for this reason. Alot of times if its something I want to watch, I will record it just so I can fast forward through the commercials. They are a good when you are pregnant and have to take a potty break.

I change channels all the time, just to avoid those commercials. It angers me that they have so many commercials. I have DVR so I try to tape all the shows I really like and watch them later, where I can fast forward past the commercials.

I do change channels quite often as i try to catch 2 or 3 programs at the same time slot.

Yes, I very often change channels and move from one channel to another. You may take it as my hobby. If there is something very interesting, it may be a movie or anything else, which has a special attraction for me, I stick to it, otherwise I contantly surf the different channels until and unless I myself get tired.

i don't like to change channels usually when i'm watching tv. i make use of the commercial break to do things. like going to the washroom, getting a drink or play with my cats. some times when i change channels, i get distracted and switch back too late. as a result, i'll miss some parts of the tv show. if i change channels, i'll watch the clock so that i can switch back in time. this is especially so for shows that i've been waiting for.

I often jump between channels. Mostly because there are often 2 things on that I am curious about.

I rarely change channels while watching tv. If I don't like a commercial I will mute it. I am not a channel changer although I used to do it all the time. I guess it was me being impatient, but not so much anymore.

I can't stand commercials! I switch to a different channel as soon as they begin. But the tv stations are tricky because all the good shows pretty much have commercials around the same time, so it doesn't matter if you change the channel. You are still bombarded with commercials. That sucks! But wait! I discovered a neat little device called a DVR. And it allows me to rewind as far as I want so when the commercials come out I can just fast forward and skip them. Awesome! Sure, I have to watch that part of the show again, but no biggie. I might notice something that I didn't see the first time around. CHEERS to the inventor of the DVR!

Yeah, I do it to, some stations really have a very long commercial break so I also change in between commercials he he but sometimes you miss some part of the show you are watching.

Not really, whenever I watch television I usually only watch Adult Swim because it's really the only thing that I enjoy watching. I enjoy pretty much every show on that channel and it does a good job of taking up all the tv time I need.

I don't like to chenel surf during a program. I don't see the point. By the time I got back to that chanel chances are I would miss part of the program. So I stay put on one chanel until the program is over. That's just the smart way to do it.

Sometime I change channels when I watching TV, especially if I watching local TV, you know, so many commercial and it's so long, about 5 minutes or more I think, I can't get my satisfaction to watch all that commercial. That,s why I change my channel. But, sometime I'm not change the channels if I watching international/cable TV like HBO or MTV, because It doesn't have any commercial, or if there, the commercial is not boring. Happy MyLotting!

Hi Dragonangel, When i watched TV i am certain what TV show i want to watch so i don't shift from one channel to another. it makes me dizzy. i hate changing channels. during commerical breaks i give my eyes a break or it's time for me to do some things that i need to work on then go back wathing again same channel and program.

I also change channels every time I watched tv because sometimes the tv commercial bored me because it is too long and non sense.

I usually change the channel when a commercial comes on. My ex used to do this and it drove me nuts. Now I do it because sometimes they run the same commercial over and over again. I guess it doesn't bother me now, because I am in control of the remote. I watch a lot of "On Demand" stuff, as there is not as many commercials. Also I have HBO and there aren't commercials on that. So I probably watch that more than the regular channels.

Hi dragonangel, I watch tv very rarely and more over where i am watching any programs or any movies if they are interesting then i dont change the chanel some time if there are no programs coming up and if i feel bores then i keep changing the added whenever they have a commercial adds coming up. Have a great day.

No, even when I am on the internet, I will be jumping through my internet browser tabs. So that's the same as what I do when watching TV. Unless someone is recording a particular channel, else I will be busy flipping through other channels trying to find something interesting to stay hook on while in commercial times.

I don't have many channels to watch, but it's true, sometimes I don't find something good to watch and I change channels constantly. Just leave him in a channel, when my niece wants to see a cartoon. It's so hard to convince her to see something else! Lol!
