It may depend on how they define "watch".
In my case, I have the TV on for an hour and a half to two hours, but during that time it's mostly background noise for the rest of my morning routine; maybe 20-30 minutes is actually _watching_ the local news.
When I get home, it's the same: it's _on_ for 3 hours or so, but I'm only paying attention to it about half that time.
So, 5 hours a day, but under half that time is actually watching anything.
