I spend more time online than watching TV. There are only a couple of shows that interest me and most everything else has me falling asleep within fifteen minutes. I can't keep my eyes open!
Books come in a close second for me.
Web, by default. I don't own a television.
Waaaay more time online! Partly because there's never anything good on tv, so im either watching films or have the tv on in the background if there is the odd thing i wanna watch
I spend way more time on the web. I think I have switched on my tv once in about two months. I watch tv shows and movies on my laptop.
I'm online far more than watching TV.
I hate silence though, so I like having either music or the TV on in the background when I'm home, although 90% of the time it's just background noise.
Online time is more than T.V. time definitely, for me. Reading and listening to the radio (because I usually have it on in the background pretty much all the time, come in right up there with messing around on the net.
At times though, it depends on what's going on with 'life'. Crappy weather equals staying in; so I'm either reading, playing games with the kids or hopping online for a bit. Busy with the family, friends, activities and stuff with the kids...sometimes I don't touch the computer for days.

Since I joined Lush, I forgot where the TV is...besides Lush is way more entertaining...
I'm like DD, I like the TV if for no other reason than having another voice in my apartment. I use both internet and tv as background info. Pretty much the entire time I'm awake and at home I am on msn and usually lush, or at least my lap top is. I tend to have both on in the background while I do other things. So, I think I'm about even with both the tv, and internet.
Well, most of my work is done online, so that's 8 hours a day right there. And then I spend a few hours of "me time" online every day too...email, chatting, watching porn, reading stories. I get my news online too. I think I spend no more than half an hour a day on TV. I like shows that tickle my brain, and unfortunately, there aren't many of those.
Geez I think lately I maybe watch less than I'd say bout 4 to 6 hours of TV a week maybe? I have plenty of people tell me I spend way to much time online. But that being said I also use it for talking by mic to my girl.
Besides way more fun online since finding Lush not to much worth watching on TV these days.
Definitely on-line ...as most of my day is spent either doing business or browsing - TV has certainly taken a back seat although there are a few slots I watch. Percentage-wise between being on-line and TV, I'd say; 90% on-line and 10% TV
Looks like TV is a clear loser.
The figures are a little skewed, there's a big increase in the number of people multi-tasking - wireless laptops and netbooks make surfing the web in front of the TV a lot easier these days for example.
Ok, who spends their leisure time watching a cheese sandwich?
In the early to late 1980s I was selling/installing C-band satellite television systems to people wanting 200-400 channels of retardism. By 1984 I was into big screen Mitsubishi sets, 12 foot satellite dishes and home theater systems and I was fairly well addicted to the movie channels and pirated sports broadcasts.
Now I have a coupla 26" Sharp (tube type) tv sets that sometimes get turned on, with the 18 inch DirecTV dish almost always set to the NFL Network (this time of the year) as background noise.
I can't even get excited about the flat panel tv systems anymore. Bah...I might get one when the price point for a 50" drops under $350.00

Yes, I do spend more time online than watching tv. Social networks and forum's are a way to reach out to people and interact. TV is just TV...no feed back...no interesting articles to read....etc...
I'm on the internet a lot more than the tv. But, like many people have said already, having a lap top makes keeping an eye on the tv a lot easier than it used to be. The background noise can help, but when I'm deep in conversation or reading a really good story on here, I'll turn the tv down a lot or mute it.
I spend much more time online than watching TV. Besides much of my work is done online or offline but on computer. Sometimes I may have the TV on when I am online but really not watching it. But mostly will have music playing.
But I must admit, I waste just as much time surfing for useless info as most people waste watching TV.
Absolutely spending much more time on line than watching T.V.. To me the sitcoms suck, the news is anything but encouraging & haven't seen any movies that interest me. Occasionally catch a nature program or some kind of documentary on the local educational channel. Much more informative than the "big" networks & a hell of lot less depressing
I'm online more, but I'm also watching more of the shows I follow on my laptop these days.
More time online!! I lose interest in shows far too easily.
