Did you know in the UK we will watch an estimated 86 Million hours of TV this Christmas?

We have just come across this snippet of news courtesy of AV Forums and Samsung so thought we’d fill you in on it!

Samsung have been looking into the way we watch TV and what our viewing habits are and have predicted that in the UK we will watch a mammoth 86 Million hours of TV over the festive Christmas period! That is certainly some hours of TV viewing for us all. Most interesting though is that one in ten of us will turn our TV sets on at 10am (maybe after the best time of the day is done with which is unwrapping all of your gifts!) and a third of us will keep the TV turned on all day. (Although it has been found that in the South west of England that the peak time for turning on the TV is 3pm!)

So what kind of things are we watching on our TV sets you might ask? Well according to Samsung we consider festive programs to include the annual Queens Christmas Speech which come ahead of Christmas specials!

Not unsurprisingly though 15 million hours of our viewing time has been predicted to be watched on Catch Up TV services as we often don’t get chance to watch our favourite content over the Christmas period (or end up arguing as to who gets to watch what!)

However if you don’t currently have a TV set that will allow you to access Catch Up TV then this could be a problem! So in time for all the great TV Shows and Movies that are shown at Christmas then why not treat yourself to a new TV perhaps as we have a great range in stock that you can find by clicking here. Or perhaps you cant stretch your budget that far to be able to get a new TV then don’t panic as why not invest in a Freesat Box such as those available from Humax, have a look at these by clicking here.

Or maybe another way to ensure you don’t miss your favourite content this Christmas time would be to pick up a hard disc recorder and watch your favourite programmes and movies whenever you choose. We have a range available such as the Panasonic DMR-HWT130 perhaps?

No matter what you are watching this festive season though you are sure to find something to suit your tastes and we wish you all a Happy Christmas and New Year!
