Broadband Turns Heads Away From TV
By: MarkJ @ 1:01 PM - Comments () - SendNews HERE / PrintNews HEREThe surge in broadband Internet access uptake has apparently had another effect; more people are now watching their computer monitors instead of the TV:
Strategy Analytics surveyed 800 European broadband users and discovered that 56 per cent spent less, or a lot less, time watching television since subscribing to broadband.
In its report Broadcasters Beware: Broadband Is Stealing Your Viewers, the firm warns that TV broadcasters are losing millions of viewers to broadband Internet services.
The news itself isn't anything new, it's been growing ever since unmetered dialup services became more affordable and reliable. More @ The Register.

I am certainly spending much less time watching tv these days--and more online, especially since I got Digiguide and can really target my viewing 
.....thanks Pem!

Re: BB luring people away from TV
Yep, have on here too. I hardly want to watch anything now.
Even the simpsons is loosing it's appeal.

I don't even watch TV, only films and I use my PC for that.
