I use netflix and youtube for all of my entertainment needs

Tejas Level 8 June 4, 2018

Which is still TV!

i suppose, but i could watch both of those things on my phone or computer

I don’t watch TV but I’m not anti entertainment either, between my phone and computer we have a plethora of entertainment options with a fraction of the commercials... with alternate devices my controll over what I see is greater and I’m more involved in what I’m doing rather than just passing out with a remote in my hand.

I have the TV on almost all the time -- but almost never on channels with commercials. I have all the premium channels and watch movies, documentaries, and series such as GOT and Westworld. I'm always also doing something else -- reading, knitting, on the computer, etc. I have Roku, also but I've done something to it so that It's not working now so I can't binge shows on Netflix.

Most of what we watch is via the net. Amazon, and network stuff. We rarely watch in realtime.

We have 7 screens in the house. The wife and i, can cook, work in our offices, do stuff in the art room, the familiy room, basement: laundry, lie on the bed,.. all while watching/listening to the same show. No restrictions on our time.

Only one screen? Sitting in one spot not able to do anything else. Silly. waste of lifetime.

I'm a news junkie first thing in the morning till I leave for work . It also helps me fall asleep when my mind is working over time .

I've been in my apartment for 2 1/2 years. I get free basic cable with my rent but I've never had it hooked up.

Yes, I watch TV. I will always have a TV. I put probably 20 to 25 hours a month into it. Almost always before bed. Rarely on the weekends During the day.

I was without a TV for 18 years. I've had one now for about 3 and a half years. And it's still a bunch of unwatchable crap.

I am not a fan. I don't even watch shows and movies on my phone/computer. I spend a good amount of my time working and doing stuff.

Ours is basically a theater. We use it to watch dvds. No cable, satellite, or antenna.

I cut the cable in 2015. I live near the Iowa/Nebraska border, Iowa was having their primary, and I kept seeing Ted Cruz in my living room. I said Oh hell no! Called the cable company and bought a Roku. Never looked back. I watch Netflix from time to time, and Amazon prime. My TV is on probably less than 10 hours a month.

It was Santorum for me!

Oh geez Cruz. Holy fuck thats what nightmares are made of. Such a vile thing he is.

I watch Golf channel and other golf tournaments on TV. The Fox News Channel is the source of in-depth news analyses.

I rarely even watch TV, and by that I mean commercial OTA and I do not have cable or satellite. I do use my TV as a monitor for a computer so I can stream videos from the internet and watch YouTube videos.

Same here.
