Only 19% Know What They'll Watch Before Turning on TV

Are you ready for an evening of entertainment? You've got the jobs done around the house, you've got the snacks, a drink and you're wearing your comfortable clothes.

But wait — you've got no idea what you want to watch.

If you're one of those people who sits down at the TV without knowing what you want to watch, you're not alone.

In fact, according to a new survey, just 19% of people have usually decided what they'll be watching before they turn on the TV.

TiVo, a company that makes and sells digital video recorders, asked almost 4,500 people in the US and Canada about the way they watch TV and how they watch content on other devices.

TiVo publishes its Video Trends Report twice a year.

Finding something to watch isn't always easy, even though there's so much to choose from!

So where do we get our ideas from?

Most often, we choose content based on recommendations from friends — 43% of people said they get ideas this way while 42% decide based on commercials that are on during other shows.

More than a third of people get their ideas from social media and 29% find out about shows from the home screen of their streaming apps.

And almost half of people go to two or three streaming apps before deciding on something to watch!
