Best way to watch a movie
If you could choose, where would you watch a movie? We asked you in a scientific Poll Position national telephone survey if you would choose a theater, TV or to watch a movie on a computer? It was a close race with 49% picking the TV, 44% saying at a theater while only 3% picked the computer.
Watching movies on a computer did not fare well in any category with Independents having the largest number of people opting for the computer at 6%.
Age matters when it comes to choosing where to watch a movie. In the 18-29 year old group 69% picked a theater, 27% chose TV and 4% said the computer. In the 30-44 year old group 50% picked a theater, 43% said TV with only 3% choosing the computer.

However, Rachel, there is a one-time charge for the TV on your PC software that you’re talking about. But that sure beats paying $50 plus dollars a month for the cable-type service. I think I will do the one-time charge software and get thousands of channels that way. Presently I pay $55 for a basic package with no premium channels.
I like to watch movies on my television.
Although my preference is to go to a theater to enjoy a movie, the exorbitant ticket, food & drink prices make this a rare occurrence, indeed.
