Research from consulting firm Deloitte also found that young millennials find their streaming services more valuable than regular TV.

I find my TV on DVD collection "more valuable than regular TV".

Why suffer through all those horrible commercials and crude programs when you can simply pop in a DVD and enjoy a show you know you love...

The point of this topic seems to be, when you're watching your DVDs , are you binging?Assuming free time, how many episodes do you do?

Probably 3 or 4 episodes of a sitcom and 2 of an hour-long drama.

And I don't stream anything. All my viewing is done on a regular tv or via DVD or blu-ray.

My actual point I was trying to make was: they said they stream more than watch regular tv....I said I watch DVDs more than regular tv. And I hate streaming.

^Do you do the "play all" feature on DVDs?

tlc38tlc38 · 03-24-2016, 09:26 PM

^Sometimes but I usually select each episode individually.

Oh, I was wondering -- I usually select the episode individually

I don't binge watch anything. I mean there's nothing on regular TV and I don't have DVD Player at the moment. Also, my VCR doesn't have a remote, so if I am sitting on a chair or in bed and I want to watch or record anything, I have to manually get up and do it. That could be a pain in the ass.
