How often do you watch the show live?

[Mike Marlowe 2]

Was curious, how often does everyone here actually watch the show live? Whether directly on TV or a live stream of the broadcast, doesn't need to be new content, as long as it is being broadcast that moment.

Me personally, I try to tune in for every new episode but I have a very strict work schedule, and I've actually been working 11am every Saturday for the last 14 months or so.

I used to be able to catch the live stream on my laptop, but now that I'm back in college, that doesn't seem possible anymore.

 

Now I do what my fiancée does by waiting for the upload to YouTube.

If I am awake at the time the episode airs (which I normally am), then I like to catch it on a stream.

[baltoist 286]

I watch it on live TV unless I'm busy. Then I record it.

[SquipyCheetah 9]

If I'm awake, I'll watch it but I hate waking up early so I rarely ever do.

[Frécinette 358]

Never. I have to wait for subs anyway.

[Silver Rain 290]

I guess the best answer is "when I can or when time allows".

[Sutekh94 5]

I usually try to catch new episodes on TV.

To support the show, I always watch new episodes live on TV if I don't miss it.

[Memory Lane 0]

Quite rarely, actually. I'd enjoy a live experience, but it's more convenient to watch a replay somewhere.

[WonkyStallion 339]

I managed to watch the first half of season 6 live, but then I moved. I don't really trust livestreams when it comes to new episodes. I've had experiences where the stream lags and I miss something important.

I used to watch new episodes of Season 6 when they premiered on Discovery Family.

But since I don't have cable TV anymore,

I just wait for the episodes to show up on Google Drive the day after they air.

[Itcheeee 23]

Sadly I can really not afford the cable package -just- to get Discovery Family. So instead I have to watch it uploaded somewhere. I really hate to do that, but I can't justify the cost to watch one thing, one day a week for a few weeks in a row, then a break, then back again and finally gone for half a year. Switching cable packages doesn't work like that :/

I support the show by buying a lot of merchandise though, so it evens out really. I don't full-on collect AJ anymore, but I still buy non-mane 6 stuff all the time xD

I'd like to buy the full season DVD sets eventually as well, it won't be on Netflix forever. This supports the show too.

[Dublyn Tea 104]

Never, more or less by choice. I'm unavailable to watch TV on Saturday mornings. If it aired Sunday-Thursday mornings I'd watch it live. But I don't see that happening as it's always been on Saturdays. I usually watch via YouTube Saturday night or Sunday when it's added to On Demand.

I have Discovery Family on my TV and I can also record things on my TV, so I recorded every single episode of pony that there is and I can watch them whenever I want. This morning I actually watched a livestream of the new episode on my computer, though. 

[The Doctor 39]

I don't think anyone watches this show live.

 

Very few animated programs are broadcast live.  It's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists. 

[ChibiDashie 121]

I don't watch it live because when the show is on, I'm still sleeping. 

[Askre 24]

I usually prefer to wait until it's available without streaming, but I do sometimes catch a stream if I happen to be near the computer when the episode airs.

[ZeBronyCaptain 35]

I've only every seen it aired live once.... at a convention.  Otherwise I'm usually working when they air, so I just watch it later.  Sometimes as late as Monday. Which really pushes back projects...

[ABronyAccount 3,411]

Usually working Saturdays, but I DVR the new episodes.

If I'm off and the episode is one I especially like, I sometimes watch a rerun on TV in the morning.

[Bryan Purdey 2]

I dont have cable or any basic popular channels, so i have to watch it after the fact online.

[Mike Marlowe 2]

Panning out pretty much how I expected, happy to know I'm not alone in not being able to see it live(though I figured that would be the case).

I wish Hasbro had some kind of official live stream of their episodes, I know it's not that simple. I don't have Discovery Family as an option so even when I have the time I'm watching a stream as opposed to the televised broadcast directly. 

[AaronMk 499]

Never, I usually worked through when new episodes aired. And these days I work the night shift so I'm asleep when a new episode airs.

[Cavy 5]

I never do. I don't have cable and I wouldn't like watching it on a stream so I just watch new episodes on youtube.

[PinkiePie97 413]

I usually watch it live whenever it's new.
