Do you still watch television?

An actuall television set, not to stream over Ipads, androids et all, talking about an actuall t.v.
- I may sound like an old geezer but just wondering if you really did.

Yes, all day and parts of the night. I have DirecTV and, therefore, have hundreds of channels to pick from. I DVR things that look interesting, and then zap through the ads while watching.

I can literally count on one hand how many times I've watched something from Amazon Prime on a computer. I have NEVER watched a show or movie on a phone or tablet--nor do I plan to. *shrug*

I have Dish network, and same with it, I pick out a show or movie I like to see, even without the commericals, I can zoom past them, or just fast forward it completely :D I am evil like that, is like they do not care hahahaaa :)
 
I watch a lot of sports and subscribe to Direct TV. Once in a great fashion I'll have to stream the beginning of a basketball game to my PC while another is running long on the TV. I never watch anything on a device other than the TV by choice. .
 
Watching Family Guy currently now, honestly i will watch on youtube sometimes, also on my apps too, but just my t.v. hooked up with my dvr, so I can save and zoom by past the commericals.
 
Yep, we've had Sky TV for many years now, most of them with the Sky+ box to record and replay - ideal for fast forwarding through the adverts.

Two weeks ago we were upgraded to the Sky HD box courtesy of Sky because they no longer support the old Sky+ boxes - happy days :):).

We have the Sky Go app on our phones and a tablet which we use mainly for Catch up, also very handy to use with headphones so we can each watch something different without arguing about it :rolleyes:.

Wait. Clarify the 'et al' part because, well, I stream everything to my TV but it's real TV. As real as TV is today anyway, not sure you're going to find someone with an OTA rabbit earred get up and turn the dial to one of three stations TVs ;)

Ha ha, here in LA--even when I was a kid (when T.Rex was an animal, not one of my favorite musical groups)--we had more than 3 channels! :D We now have...shoot, I actually don't know, but probably 70(?). DirecTV doesn't [yet] carry all of the dot channels, like 2.2, so looking at its guide doesn't give me an accurate count, but it's at least 50.

And in the 'Pink Floyd' days there were 13 channels of sh*t on the TV to choose from. We've come a long way!!!
 
I don't watch much TV, but that's lack of time. I still watch about 100* as much on an actual TV set as I do on a phone or tablet (why would I use one of those out of choice?).
