Is your living room a 'digital hub'? Do you watch TV as as family? Or do you all sit in the same room watching different stuff?

Hello hello.

You may have seen/heard in the news today that, according to a new report from Ofcom (the communications regulator), 'living rooms are making a comeback' as families in the UK are now more likely to get together in their living room and watch TV than they have been for over a decade.

But increased use of smartphones and tablets means that many of us are actually either watching a different television show from our other half/our children while sitting in the same room - or using other devices to do related things, such as Tweeting about the show or using tie-in apps or texting/messaging friends.

Does this ring true for you? Does your family sit together in the living room with different groups of you using different devices to watch/browse different stuff? Or do you all watch the same programmes? Or, even, is the centre of your family life a different room in your house altogether?

Do tell. We'd love to know!

We think they mean folks are watching the same show in the 'main' telly but using other devices to do something related - so, Tweeting about the show, using tie-in apps, texting/messaging friends or updating Facebook.

Apols if our OP wasn't brilliantly clear. We'll amend it a little now.
