I have always listened to music more than television, but since buying this house, and investing only a minium amount in the HT stuff, and a cheap out of the box 5.1 system, I have been spedning more time watching TV. Of course, well watching tv, I can not do much else. Now that I'm back to having a quality sound system, its average run time is 12 + hours, like today, its been on since 8am and still is. So now I can be any where in the house or back yard and be doing things, and have tunes. Also beacuse of the quality of sound, one tends to become more addicted.
