Poll: Has the PC replaced your TV at home?

.. still has 3 tv at home…. 2 laptop and 2 desktop at home :) but if the internet upgrades and internet tv is available locally maybe..

I only live in a boarding house so TV is not an option. However, the PC is the one that is entertaining me. But sometimes I also miss watching TV…

Well, the latest TVs with internet are quite expensive to begin with. I know a lot of people who still stick with CRT. I personally have a CRT at home and at this moment I’m not looking to replace it just yet

when my tv wasn’t lcd yet, YES, my laptop replaced my use of tv at home
but since LG 32LD460 could read my 320GB HDD, i watch downloaded series, movies and anime episodes there while do regular computing stuff with my laptop

i think my mom still spends more time in front of tv watching drama compared to her time playing farmville, but that’s because her internet is on prepaid…but if not, it’s a highly possible YES
our playstation 1 did not upgrade anymore so she doesn’t have much use for tv aside from local dramas

kaya lang, medyo walang storage ang Internet TV, dahil walang HDD ito, not as good as PC itself, hindi mo magagawa ang gawi mo sa PC, puwera na lang kung ini-attach mo yung VGA cable na nasa LCD/LED TV sa Laptop/Desktop PC mo, medyo magandang idea ang Internet TV, pero wala pa ring tatalo sa PC

gamit ko pc na meron tv tuner, ok lang sabay puwede window mode or dual monitor. kaka miss din tv na experience ko na halos isuka ko na rin ang pc kasi hindi na ako nakakapanood ng tv ng sabay, kaya naisipan ko yung tv tuner kaya balance na ang buhay ko ngayon ika nga with a little bit of this and a little bit of that hahaha at take note tipid pa sa koryente kaysa meron ka pang dedicated na tv. tsaka hindi rin maganda ang experience ko sa tv money wise bibilin mo ng mahal sa una sandaling panahon lang tipong pang karaoke machine nalang yung ibunuhos mong pera doon sa pangarap mong tv tapos bukas singko isa nalang sana nilagay ko nalang sa banko yung pera ko laki talaga pag-sisi ko sa wega na yun.

my PC is my TV

i only have one laptop but i love to collect lcd tv’s and home theaters. may 5 sets na ako pero di ko maxadong nagagamit. naka online lang ako parati,pinaputol ko na din cable kasi dagdag gastos at minsan lang ako manuod. gusto ko lang cla tingnan,its like a piece of art for me.

I haven’t been able to watch TV, since I have the Internet + computer/tablet to keep me busy all the time.

I actually wrote an article in Manila Bulletin — Is TV Obsolete? http://www.glennong.com/2011/03/is-tv-obsolete.html

I still have my TV, but most of the time I have my laptop on while watching free TV. Never bothered subscribing to cable. But no, I don’t think TV will replace PC.

Even though we have two PCs at home, the TV still has its place in it. Until we have a decent connection good enough for Internet TV services then this could be a possibility.

As long as HBO, Discovery, Star World, Nat Geo and ESPN are on cable TV then my PCs and the TVs have to coexist peacefully at home.

tv is still the king of entertainment in our home next pc, then the netbook, smartphone, then the china clone tablet.

The internet will not replace my TV … Not within the next decade, at least.

Then again, I could be wrong. If within the next five years internet speeds increase while price for the subscription and the hardware becomes more affordable, we could all switch to video-on-demand from the internet …

TV for local shows/news. It’s also easier to switch channels to look for something interesting to watch versus going through links for TV episodes, buffering the video. Come to think of it, I think the term “Channel Surfing” came about even before “Internet Surfing” came to be.

For the PC, I use it to watch movies/tv episodes that I anticipate; e.g. latest episode of US shows or movies that have been released outside of the PH.

TV becomes obsolete everytime Pacquiao fights..internet streaming has improve a lot :)

I don’t have time watching tv anymore but I still want it. For me, there’s still a difference.

In my house, not really since my dad can’t even work the camera on a cellphone. Hell, he still listens to AM radio.My momon te other hand prefers to.watch movies using her laptop either on an external monitor or an lcd tv. She’s gone spoiled to the point that she needs her monitors to have HDMI ports to plug.her.laptop in. Me? Haven’t watched fiction on TV in years. Everything in digital data form for me.

TV is useless if you’ve got nothing good to watch. Almost all the shows in Free TV are crap nowadays.

hmm, i don’t even bother to turn on the tv anymore, i just get my entertainment fix from the Internet. as a a “TV” junkie, i get my fix from hulu, since most of my favorite shows are available hours after the original US airdate! cable and terrestrial tv can’t even offer this kind of immediacy.

I don’t watch TV because the shows suck big time. Major TV channels simply broadcast some “recycled” cartoons/anime just to fill in their broadcast time. Yucky TV stations…Doraemon and Ghost Fighter anyone?

i spend majority of my time in front of the pc because of work. but if we’re talking about entertainment, and media consumption, i wont trade the experience to that of from the 55incher, especially that the video on demand and HD cable is hooked up to the tv.

TV + XBMC + internet + downloaded videos
