I find that when i spend hours on the computer and watching tv, i begin to feel a bit drained and weird. could my eyes be strained?

Yes: Definitely eye strain if poorly lit but also poor ergonomics could lead to fatigue earlier than expected. Check out http://www.uhs.umich.edu/computerergonomics for computer ergonomics. Check out http://www.allaboutvision.com/cvs/ergonomics.htm for computer vision concerns.
