Someone who "Watches TV" IMO means watching more than three 30 minute shows a day regularly, or if you watch more than one movie per day.
When I considered myself completely TV free, I wasn't watching anything on any medium, whether it be netflix, torrents, or plain old TV. Now that I have become addicted like usual when I begin watching anything with any regularity, I'm watching episodes of very particular shows for 3-4 hours per night on various "watch-show-name.com" sites...
I used to fill that time with personal projects, music production and mixing, exercising, light-gaming, and in general doing anything productive at all once I get home from work. Now it's the default to just come home at 6:00pm and flip on the episodes while cooking dinner, eating, and then sitting there watching either the same show or two to three different shows until it's time to go to bed. My g/f is now playing Aion (an mmo) from the time she wakes up til the time she goes to bed, quite literally. She'll do laundry, clean up a bit, and take care of our two big huskies; but her brain is completely melting atm (our car is broke down so I take the bus to work. She has literally not been off of our property for almost a month now). We're literally starting to have trouble with speech and pronunciation because we hardly ever talk, only type (even to each other).
I know everything should be done in moderation, but it's become rather hard to bring myself to do anything other than vegetate explicitly when I'm not at work. When I'm at work my desire to do things is completely bonkers and I end up researching stuff and planning stuff out that I never do with a firey passion, until it dies completely when I get home...
TV is alright if you're not watching it regularly (every day seems bad to me), but when consuming video content becomes your sole activity it does something to your brain...
