I wonder about that sometimes. I know that at various times over the years I've watched movies on my iPad. I have also watched TV on my cell phone. I know I am not the only one that does that?
Anyone else watches movies or Television content on their mobile devices?

No. I never understood watching a movie on a tiny screen.

@DocAndersen Yeah, I agree with that....and that's good! We do have a 32 inch TV, but no cable lol...so use it for the Wii and watching DVD's.

I have watched movies on my iPad a few times, but most of the time I prefer to use my laptop. It is easier to see the details on the laptop and I don't have to charge it after a short time.

@DocAndersen Yes, the battery is a problem, the size of the screen is another problem. It is easier to enjoy a movie on a bigger screen. I like to watch movies on my laptop. I don't have a tv, so I use my laptop instead.

The battery is truly the limiter of using a tablet to watch tv!

Staring at a bright screen bothers my eyes and I need to be distanced from the movie I'm watching.

I have that problem as well from time to time. But sometimes for me it is worse being in a movie theater or dark room and watching.

Not generally, but I have done it. I watch it on the kindle normally, which doesn't have the biggest screen but it satisfies me.

Despite it comes in handy to be able to watch all kinds of content on our mobiles, I'd rather watch tv, movies, and all media on a bigger screen like a Tv, it's more comfortable to me.

I always watch TV or movies using my laptop due to bigger screen.
It will be difficult to view on phone unless laptop is not with me then I will perfer to use a tab. (I do not have tap either, hahah)
I normally use phone for normal purpose like making calls, sms, reply email, browsing internet, whatsapp, FB only.

@Acefun I can understand that, although I do have to admit to watching TV during March. I am a college basketball fan...

Some people younger than me like to do everything using their own mobile phone including watching movie. For me, it is just too difficult to view the scene in a small frame phone.
