I know many people would find this quite odd and/or weird. But I don’t really watch TV anymore. I haven’t watched TV in years (believe it or not). I just simply lost interest in all the limitations of TV. From forcing you to watch whatever the channels choose to all the forced and boring ads. It just seems like going on the internet is a much more convenient solution nowadays.

You've got a good point @ikk157.  And you're not alone in this.  I've noticed many people moving away from TV cable or channel viewing.  They do their viewing of movies or documentaries through their laptops or tablets and the Internet.  TV Cable is horribly expensive.  At the same time also very boring.  I'm thinking of ditching it myself.  Tonight I found myself clicking around the channels almost longer than actually doing any viewing.  Only TV channel I like is "Universal" with Law and Order episodes on it.  Now and then we get lucky with a good movie.  For the price that is not value.  And also an enormous waste of time if one calculates the clicking together with all of the ads that run with the TV shows.

Other TV shows I look for is Bluebloods and NCIS.  Usually the cable service has plenty of old episodes available too.  I have a very old Video Recorder with a hard disk.  So when I'm inspired I tape the shows and then fastforward through the ads.  I also like to watch some of the food shows, I'm not a cook myself, but there are some good shows in the FoodNetwork. I also like to watch TV documentaries like the Aircrash Investigation series. And of course News on BBC and other news networks.

But very soon I think I may ditch TV viewing. I'll probably be able to use a TV and get everything I need through Netflix or similar online.
