umm...i think...computer
you can also watch as what you can do in a tv...^^love to watch anime's
in addition...definitely have many functions than a tv...no doubt...

Computer :D

cause you can get a TV tuner for the PC ^__^

Computer,
My TV is hooked to my computer anyway...
/me hides his whole suround system that is attached to his computer

I guess computer more

a computer, i dont watch tv.

tv... unless I can watch my shows at the computer

a computer, I could surf the net all day but I would be really bored just watching tv.

My computer theres always something new if you look hard and you get to socialize in a community such this one.

Computer, do you can do more stiuff on a computer and you can watch stuff on it too :)

Tv cause there are commercials and news and comedy show. Computer needs to download it first which is bad. And anyways, i have a PSP ^^ so who needs computer that much?

Computer, because the TV here is usually bullshit, airing some action movies from the 80's or whatever, sigh. Really hard to find something interesting or something you didn't see yet.
Anyway a computer has much more possibilities, for me it works as a HiFi and a better alternative for the TV (anime watchin).

computer dude T_T

Definitely the computer. XD
There are way too many people watching TV in our house.

I don't watch TV 'cause i'm in front of my PC all day.

For me its definetly a computer ^^. You can play games, you can be here at MT, you can... do almost anything ^_^'.

I cant watch TV all day long :\. I just get tired of it when something boring is coming up. And im not so intressted in stuff that they mostly show on TV ^_^'. I prefer computer ^^'.

Thats my taste :\

Computer all the waayyy! You can do more with a computer. I can't sit and watch tv all day long, but i can sit and the computer for hours. Thats my reason for a computer. Every reason said by everyone for computer is great.

Going on the computer all the time made me stop watching TV. So I would say computer. Especially since mine has a DVD-rom drive ^.^

Computer! I like computer because, first of all well, I'm on it my life... I know a lot about computers, and I only know about a little bit about computers... Also, these days you don't really need a computer, just as long as you go on the computer and you get to watch your favorite tv shows! You can also go on the internet and download pictures and print, buy stuff on the computers, and also get information instead of going to the library and getting a book! You also can listen music and chat with friends on the computer, and of course go on MT...

In any one of you have been following the computer industry closely, it seems the computer has started to become a replacement for the TV. Well we do not see its entire transformation yet, but probably 5 to 10 years from now, we shall see that entire change.

Here are a few reasons why

-Microsoft Windows Media Center editon is probably the OS that started it all. Not only does this OS let's you use your computer as any regular desktop, it also has the compabilities to let you manage and/or record your TV shows right on to your hard drive and watch it whenever you want*. And in order to do that, you will need a computer.

-Today mobile components (computer parts mostly used for notebooks) are becoming a popular item among PC builder who wants to build
a PC as their entertainment hub for all media services, not only for watching TV but also for streaming music wired or wirelessly over a network+ though their entire home. These components produce less heat and still packs a powerful punch as their big brother (the desktop components), and since it produces less heat, it allows users to have a quiet PC without all the noisy fans which is perfect for a HTPC.

-LCD/TV are getting larger which let's you see watch your shows just like
as if you were watching it on a TV.

-Intel and AMD have probably see what the the consumer is going for and thus came up with the own idea of what the HTPC technology will be. Intel calls theirs the Intel VIIV (some are PC are already out) and AMD's (which is not out yet) is calling theirs AMD Live!

With all that said, I'll go with my computer. :)

*In order to watch TV shows on your computer you will need a TV tuner card, and or a graphic card with TV tuning compabilities (ATI All-in-Wonder).
Recording TV shows may require you to subscribe and/or pay monthly fee.

+To stream music though out your entire home over a wireless network you will need a device such as the Squeeze Box 2 wireless version

tiki223 is right. The computer is fast replacing the TV, and I guess it will eventually. Anyway, I would definitely choose a computer, since I don't watch TV in the first place. Also, a computer (and the internet) is vital in my life. I submit schoolwork on it, read mail on it, create presentations for projects on it, research, etc. So, computer would be my choice; absolutely no contest here.

computer, hands down. watching movies, playing games, the internet(most helpful) chatting with friends,etc. only problem is that it can freeze,crash,and slow down.

a computer, I think.

Even if there are shows I really like on tv but really few (I guess that just having less than 20 different tv channels explain that...there are only 7-8 channels I watch among them 3 information tv)... but I spend more time on computers.

Well, this thread was supposed to be in the Hardware, Software & Internet forum. This is all my mistake for creating this thread in the Lamentations forum. I didn't look clearly the category for posting up this thread earlier and it was to late for me to change it to the another forum when I click the final button. *whack herself*

Sorry! :sweat:
