TV Viewing.... what do you do.

I was just pondering about TV viewing today and wondered, do I really watch much less than the average viewer (the chap that visited me last year from MORI seemed to think so). How many hours are average per week these days? Does your viewing alter with the seasons (e.g. watch less in the summer) or with sporting events. How much TV do you really sit down to watch and how much is either the sort of thing you dip in and out of while doing something else or is just essentially just background noise? Just for the record I don't really judge people that watch a lot more TV than me, I'd probably watch more if there was anything else on I really wanted to watch. So for me (at the time of going to press

):

Hours of TV per week: 4.5hours
Programs:

Always watch: Being Human, The Big C, The Good Wife, Holby City, The Tudors (the last two being guilty pleasures...especially the terrifically historically inaccurate Tudors!)
Watch if nothing else to do: QI, CSI (Vegas), Casualty
Watch but not currently on: F1 Qualifying & Race, Dexter, Larkrise to Candleford, The Big Bang Theory, Downton Abbey, Damages

I don't find my viewing changes much with the seasons, if I really like something I tend to make the time. Though my viewing goes up a fair bit come F1 season as I try not to miss any of the qualifying or races unless I absolutely have to. I only have freeview mainly because there are very few non-freeview shows I want to watch so either get them on DVD or wait for them to come on freeview. So what is your viewing like?
