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

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

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.

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.

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'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.

No vote because I don't poll to strangers but modern TVs make great PC monitors.

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 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 cut the cord about 4 years ago. The lady at Cox Communications did her best to keep my business. At one point she asked me what I was going to do to relax at the end of a long day at work. I told her I was going to sit outside and read a book. She laughed at me. And then canceled my service when I didn't laugh with her.

Television is not what it used to be during the 50s and 60s with its many test patterns and the national anthems played before the stations went off the air. Back in the day I used to count the number of channels that each city got!?

I moved to a new place in April. Vowed not to take my "box" tv's and other handed down, old or damaged/not working items. I have no tv in my room or in the living room. I don't miss it at all. Watching tv is unproductive and has too many commercials to brainwash people to believe they need/must have a particular product or service. I watch FREE movies on Amazon PrIme, videos on YOUTUBE, an
