I know I can't be the only one but... I can barely sit down and watch something on tv without browsing my phone or using my laptop.

The tv is mostly background at this point.

:manny:

Only time I really pay attention is if I'm eating, out at the movies, or watching the movie/show with a friend or a chick.

If I'm by myself I'm multitasking like a mofo

same here OP, I already have issues putting my phone down. when I sit down to watch a movie I give myself the worst odds of being able to pay attention to it, I have the laptop open, my phone on, and the television in the background.

:wow:

I'm guilt of this. Be watching a tv show on the laptop or tv and all the sudden I'm browsing through my phone not even paying attention of what's going on.

If it's my first time watching it, I give my undivided attention, but if I've seen it before i'm usually on my Ipad at the same time

I'm watching MOS right now as I type this. Unless I'm at the movies , anything I'm watching on TV, I'm also browsing on my phone or IPad.

I watch everything on my laptop, I don't even bother to stream it to my TV.

I have both the HDMI cable and "Serviio" linked to my PS3, but still...I don't use it. :manny:

I rarely use Netflix on my iPad4 anymore either.

Pretty much the only show i will watch without browsing on my iPad or phone is Game of Thrones.

With sports its almost a given that i will be in some forum talking about the game while im watching it.

If it's a tv series first airing I'm on here and Twitter the entire time.

I'm pretty good at no distractions during movies (wait does texting hoes count?)

It hasn't. In fact, if I get as much as a text message I have to press pause because I hate missing shyt.
