iTunes and iPod Video Viewing take off

More and more people are cutting back their TV watching in favor of catching their favorite shows on their computer and portable devices according to a report in TechNewsWorld.

Nearly half of all on-line viewers say they watch less traditional TV, including those who only watch an on-line show once a week. The BBC commissioned a survey about viewing habits and discovered that about 75% of those surveyed said their computer and mobile TV watching has increased from a year ago.

Apple's growing video content in iTunes is helping to feed this trend, allowing consumers to catch missed shows or take their shows with them on iPods.

I don't even have a TV in my place... Around here to get any of the shows that I watch I have to get cable and its less expensive to download them via the iTunes Store plus I can watch them when I want. You can also get quite a bit of TV episodes online for free (with short commercials as well). The quality is not as good as the iTunes store but hey its free.

I download my viewing content and watch it while I'm working out at the gym, the only time I have to watch anything. I use my video iPod for that.

I don't need any report to tell me it's true for me, cause I know it's true for me. I've gotten my NTL digital TV service taken out. All I have now is regular analogue TV, and it's fine.

I watch a hell of a lot more podcast and videos on the web now than I've ever watched on my TV in the last few months. iTV may change all that, but that's only because it will give me access to content I actually want to watch. I still watch movies on my TV however, and nothing will change that.
