With those 18 to 24, the figure rises to nine hours and 20 minutes, which is around a third of their weekly TV viewing. Parents of those under 16 estimate that their kids watch around seven hours per week of catch-up TV. With those over 55, catch-up comprises around 14 percent of their viewing time. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">The study also finds that while average homes record around ten programs in a given week, they delete four of those on average without watching. Entertainment is the most likely to be deleted (36 percent), followed by films (32 percent) and documentaries (32 percent). <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: small\"><span style=\"font-family: Verdana\">Spending on subscription TV&nbsp;services has increased, by around 40 percent in five years.
