I remember reading about a similar study a few years ago regarding online viewing and gaming - where funnily enough it was discovered that people spend on average about 90 mins at a time viewing, for example, youtube clips or online games such as World Of Warcraft (where concievably they have the option to play for unlimited hours).
It's safe to say that DTV movies have followed that formula.
