Remote Controls • “Televisions have been redesigned to reflect the triumph of the remote” • “The remote handed viewers the power to switch away from whatever displeased them in an instant.” • “The remote is the direct ancestor of automatic garage-door openers, wireless phones, remote keyless entry in cars, even laptops.”

  14. Anchored Avoiders • Avoided TV viewing by changing their behavior • Studying • Sleeping • Regular TV viewing: 49.5 hours per week • Decreased: 54-85% (average 67%)

  15. Anchored Avoiders • “The volume was either too loud or too soft, but I wouldn’t get up to change it because I was basically too lazy or I didn’t care enough.” • “It’s mostly just frustrating. I can watch TV like normal without it, but I have to get up if I want to change anything.”

  16. Antsy Avoiders • Actively avoided their TV viewing habits by changing their behavior • Shopping • Working out • Hanging out with friends • Talking on the phone • Regular viewing averaged 17.5 hours • Decrease 44-59% (51.5% average)

  17. Antsy Avoiders • “I just go to the gym or do something else instead of watching the TV without the remote. I did not like having to get up every time I wanted to watch something different.” • “Without the ‘ease’ of a remote control, I found myself occupying my time with other activities such as doing my homework immediately after class, working out at the gym and even shopping with my girlfriends.”

  18. Analysts • Analysts carefully selected the times they would watch TV, to only view what they wanted to watch • Regular TV viewing: 15.43 hours • One participant’s viewing increased by 63% and the other decreased by 58% • Only segment where increased viewing occurred

  19. Analysts • “It’s a pain to have to go up to the box and have to change it around, so unless there was something on TV that I wanted to watch, I would pretty much steer clear”. • “It’s made me choosier about programs. If I turn the TV, I try to leave on one show and when that one is done, find another. Or find a channel where I can leave it for a while.”

  20. Adapters • Changed the environment in which they viewed the shows of their choice. • Went to online viewing • Regular TV viewing: 5.43 hours per week • Decreased: 67%

  23. Accepters • “I hate the world when I am watching TV it sucks to not be able to use it. My TV buttons do not work because it is hooked up with the TiVo and I have to have my 5 year old niece to push the buttons for me.”
