on the other hand, i watch and often enjoy tv series on dvd...maybe it's the lack of commercials? maybe it's the lack of everything else, i dont know.
tv is for hotels, which are basically tv watching stations.

This is pretty much me, right there.
I've always had my own tv, but i've never had so much as an antenna hooked up to it, let alone cable. I just watch my movies on it. And like roachboy said, I also enjoy a FEW tv series that I now own on DVD and will watch. That's only because someone told me a show was good, so I downloaded an episode or two... I liked it, I downloaded more, and watched them all. Then, when the DVD was available, I bought it and erased the files.
Really though, people just have so many living spaces now, and it's not like TV's are massively expensive. They're also a part of furniture- I mean, many TV's now are bought with the intention of designing/getting an entire structure of furniture/home theater center/stand/whatever to match and compliment them.
This is not all that surprising, really.
I mean, my parents have 3 in the house. There's one in the living room, one in the den/study/whatever we're calling it this week, and there's one in the bedroom. Really, the one in the study almost never gets used unless someone is watching something in the living room and someone else wants to watch something different- but that's for those people who watch TV.
TV has too few interesting shows to even make me consider caring about watching. I'll watch the good ones on the internet and then buy the DVD set if I liked it, so I can watch it more in the future.
