I cannot stand to have the television on for several hours. It starts to get on my nerves. Do you leave your television on regardless if you are watching it or not?

I watch TV using my computer with TV tuner installed. It's cheaper, and I can do lots of thing with it (e.g. record my favorit programs). So, it will be on when my PC is on.

That is neat. I work too much on the computer to be able to actually watch something online.

No, I don't like to have the television on if I am not watching it. Because the electricity bill where I am from charges a lot of money when you leave electronic items on. I do like to watch television for a couple of hours a day too. I think I spend more time surfing online than I do watching stuff on television.

It runs our electric bill up too. It is distracting also while trying to work online.

I used to leave it on during the day while I worked at the kitchen table and did housework etc. For the last several months though I have not been turning it on. I like the peace and quiet and I am able to concentrate on my work better with the quiet.

Amen to that. I love the peace and quiet also! There isn't very many good shows on for me anymore anyway.

Television? I have been 'allergic' to television and radio since I was a young child. I could never sit and watch it. I like to listen to radio here http://www.themonsterclub.com that is probably the only radio I like. As for television. it's almost like an empty husk for me. I like some of the shows, like doctor who and Star trek, as well as the movies. However, on the whole I really do not care much for it. Just having it on makes me very nervous. I can't figure it out, that is why I say I am allergic to television.

Hi dear ranger07,may be my condition is more severe than yours.In weekend,I will download a whole series TV drama and watch it for a whole day.Because I feel it is very cheerful to watch a whole TV drama in one or two days.But I also find it is bad for my health,as waste my time as well.So I really need to control myself.So was you,my friend.

Very true. If you have the time to watch tv like that, then that is wonderful. I just have too much to do than to sit and watch it for many hours, it seems.
