Original Streamed Series Top Binge Viewing Survey for First Time TiVo releases annual binge behavior report Full-season binging on the rise
House of Cards and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt were the most recently binged shows
San Jose, CA June 30, 2015 TiVo Inc. (NASDAQ: TIVO) today revealed results from its second annual TiVo Spring 2015 Binge Viewing Survey. Binge viewing, defined as viewing more than three episodes of a series in a day, has continued its meteoric rise in both perception and popularity. Negative perception of binge viewing has greatly decreased, to only 30 percent of respondents (versus 53 percent just two years ago). Overall, 92 percent of respondents reported binge viewing at some point, demonstrating that binge viewing is a new norm.
Binging is booming not just during sparse stretches in the TV schedule over the summer or holidays, but year-round and as programmers such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon continue to release original programming a full season at a time, we expect this trend to accelerate. TiVo's new OnePass feature is ideally suited to maximize binge viewing efficiency including full-season binging across linear TV, VoD and OTT sources of content, said TiVo Chief Research Officer Jonathan Steuer.
Original Streamed Series Rule
This year, consumers are loving original content being produced by Netflix. House of Cards and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt come in as the most recently binged shows. Of those surveyed, 66 percent of season bingers use Netflix to watch their favorite programming in bulk. Season bingers are defined as viewers watching an entire season, or more, of a specific program within a few weeks.
Why We Binge
Respondents cite the desire to catch up on TV (28 percent) and only having learned about the show after many episodes had already aired (17 percent) as their top drivers for binging.
Three in ten of those surveyed prefer to wait to binge-watch certain programs until the entire season or series is over.
32 percent deliberately put off watching an entire season of a show until they can watch the whole season at once, a slight increase from the 2014 survey.
61 percent report they binge three or more episodes of the same show in one day, because they fell behind on their show.
45 percent admit they binge because they learned about the show after many episodes had already aired and needed to catch up.
39 percent say that some shows are better when watched back-to-back.
Risk Factors: Sadness, Lost Weekends and Lost Sleep
Ever heard of the binging blues? 52 percent report experiencing feeling sad when they get to the end of binging a series. When it comes to time spent binging, 31 percent said they have lost sleep due to binge-viewing, and 37 percent have spent an entire weekend binging a show.
The Couple That Binges Together Stays Together
If your idea of the perfect date involves a TV, playing your recorded shows or streaming an entire season on the couch with your loved one, you are in good company. 31 percent say binge-viewing together is an important way they spend time with their spouse.

Methodology
TiVo Research conducted the TiVo Spring 2015 Binge Viewing Survey in March 2015. Respondents were part of the TiVo Advisors Panel, an opt-in panel of approximately 30,000 TiVo subscribers whose second-by-second viewing behavior is anonymously tracked on an ongoing basis. This viewing data is merged with our monthly attitudinal surveys, allowing us unprecedented insight into behavioral habits and television viewing. 12,458 panel members participated in this survey. TiVo Research has defined binge-viewing as watching at least three episodes of the same series on the same day; season binging is defined as watching an entire season (or more) of a specific program within a few weeks.
