    do you watch TV when you work ?

    I used to work from my bed with a 50" plasma in front of me and I think I spent too long watching the TV

    now I'm in my office but it doesn't feel right without any tv so I plugged one in and I've got the news on in the backgounrd I think it make me work better

      No. I just listen to music. When something important (like simpsons) is on, I stop working and watch tv..
      ..and I'm off.

          I've either to got the TV on in the background or my music is blasting thru my headphones.

          Today it's TV.

          Spend you some brain.

            I have the tv on in the background . . things like the History Channel, Court TV, National Geographic . . . as they repeat their stuff so frequently it is impossible to not pick up additional knowledge

                i dont have a tv at my work place. TV distracts me while working and i will be wasting too much electricity if i just turn it on and dont watch. i'd listen to mp3 to set some mood

                    Nope. Too distracting. I keep tv in other room out of office. Otherwise you get caught up in a show, and I get little work done.

                          I used to play Court TV in the background, but somehow I got used to the silence and now it's hard to work with it on. Depends what I'm doing though, when it's mundane stuff, I sometimes need the TV to keep me from nodding off!

                          And I'm the second person to mention Court TV - wonder why that makes such good "background" sound.

                            I used to have a tv set up where I could view it just to the right of my monitor.
                            I bought a new desk and now the tv is behind me and to the right.
                            I would venture to say I am now less productive...don't know why but I am.

                                I set my computer up in the same eyeshot as the TV because with of all my satellite equipment I often need to refer to online info. When I'm working I either put the news on in the background (sometimes switching between the news channels if something is particularly annoying) or I listen to online streams.
                                .
