Hello Nightfox!

We had no means to record OTA at the time. But eventually I  
found a way with an HDD recorder.  Anyway.. the viewing of Y&R  
was just one example. And this was every day, so yes.. that  
constitutes addiction for the sake of other things that might  
otherwise be more important.

 N> ...but many people either have a way to record it or can

 N> watch it any time they want and don't need to make sure
 N> they're at the TV at a particular time.

Exactly.  So that enables the addiction!  :D


 N> Similarly, some people are big fans of certain bands and
 N> like to go to as many of their concerts as possible.  Or,
 N> someone might be really into martial arts and attend a lot
 N> of martial arts competitions and events.  Or perhaps
 N> someone might be a devout member of a church and like to
 N> make sure they attend church service regularly.  Not
 N> everything like that is because of addiction.

Bands, MA events, and church are different. Those wouldn't be  
daily activities.
