I don't doubt people have the tv on for 5 hours a day. I do doubt that people are intently watching every minute. Making dinner, washing dishes, straitening up, and folding laundry are all sort of obvious things people do while the tv is on. Heck, that second reference included 'game console' which, i think, is the only one listed that really requires full engagement. that's 14 minutes a day. the 2.5 hours on a web/app on a smartphone is an interesting one. Does listening to spotify at work count? that would definitely pump those numbers a lot.
