The DVD is there on the shelf, in the box, not watched in ages. But if the same movie comes on the telly....

Does this happen in your house? Several years ago my stepson gave his dad a few boxed sets of movies that they both really like. Nothing strange about that. But I have noticed that if I ask hubby if he wants to watch one of these adless DVDs, he'll say no. But let one of those same movies come on telly, even if it's full of ads, and he'll watch it all the way through. What is going on? Is it just him, or are there others out there who sit through all that dross to watch something when they could watch it without it? Why? Hubby won't give me a sensible answer, but he also sees people floating around rooms since the dementia.

It is obviously a man thing as my husband is the same - and worse he records the flipping thing.

Hubby does exactly the same with his war films. He has them all and admittedly he does watch them BUT if one comes on the telly we have to endure the damn crap again! Why can't he just sod off to bed with his dvd later on that evening? He buggers off to bed at 9pm anyway so why make us suffer a couple of hours of annihilation?

Oh dear - it certainly sounds like you have your work cut out here . . . . . Take a 'chill-pill', as my kids say! Gx

You may be pleased to know that this also happens in our house too!!! Very annoying - but since we got our Sky+ box we try to tape most things like films so we can fast forward through the ads.

This is the same in our house, they'll watch stuff being shown on TV that we've got on DVD, crazy!

My great-uncle does that! It must be a man thing! I've bought him boxsets of westerns which include all of his favourites and he'll wait until they show them on TV.
