I don't have any kind of TV service hooked up to my TV, all I ever use it for is HT (DVD/PS2/DC).

I don't even have an antenna.

Not even sure why I bought a TV... I use my computer and monitor for everything. :)

1.5 hours Monday, 2 hrs. Tuesday, 1 hour Wednesday, 2 hrs. Thursday, none Friday and Saturday, 2 hours Sunday.
8.5 hrs. per week.

Of course, I'm usually on the computer or reading during commercials, so really just assume 1 hour = 44 minutes. Then I'm really only watching like 6.25 hours per week.

Usually only about three hours or less a week. I find my computer offers more entertainment in the way of games, chatting, screwing around in general and surfing the internet. Since I got on the 'net years ago my television viewing time has gone way down.

I watch a fair bit. Never miss a new episode of ER or The Sopranos.

If I have nothing else to do I'll watch Sportscenter, Conan O'Brien, TheScreenSavers, American Chopper... whatever. Usually before I go to bed.

Same here. All I have is my Xbox hooked up to one of my roomate's tvs. I maybe have 2 hours a week (at best) avaliable to play my Xbox...life is busy.

That depends. I watch no TV (scheduled programming), but occasionally I'll go out and rent 5 movies and watch them in a weekend. But I watch those on my computer, so that doesn't count.

I'm a TV fiend, but I hate most network shows. I watch more cable: Comedy Central, Nick at Nite, ESPN, HBO. I get a 2 hour dose of Maximum Extreme Elimination Challenge on Spike TV every Thursday night. Lots of weekly NFL shows. Gotta get my fantasy lineup just right. Information is key. I also watch Seinfeld and Conan late night.

I have the TV on almost nonstop when I'm home. But I rarely just sit and watch it. I'll have it on while studying, while playing the computer, while cleaning, while cooking, while talking with friends/wife. Basically I love the background noise and the distractions when my mind wants to wander from what I'm currently doing. I will stop everything to watch Headlines on the Tonight Show, rare Simpson's episodes (ie ones that aren't played very often), and interesting college football games.

Maybe an hour or two a week when I'm chilling at other people's houses and we are trying to kill some time. Comedy Central and Cartoon Network are about the only two channels that I can stomach watch anymore though.
TV can kiss my ass.

Not much at all for me, surprisingly. I have a tv right in front of me here in my home office...
