I have 29 OTA channels to watch from if I'm not streaming from my phone/tablet to TVWait. 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

Do you still watch television?

Or when you've got 13 channels of China Central Television to choose from. Sufficed to say I rarely watch ordinary TV. Just about all I watch is downloaded or streamed from the Interwebs

When selecting t.v., do you prefer like shows that has a massive fan base, or small indies?
I like what I like--screw what anyone else thinks!
You're never going to catch me watching anything with a Kardashian in it, and I don't care how many people do. Same for a lot of other shows, popular or not.
On the other hand, I'll watch something that, for whatever reason, doesn't have a huge fan base, like Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, yet is funny, quirky, original and speaks to me somehow--and the critics adore.
My all-time favorite TV show, St Elsewhere, was a critical success, but barely survived its first season due to low ratings. Luckily, it went on for a long run, and is considered by many--including me--the best medical drama ever.
I like what I like too!
No reality stuff. That's just way out. I sort of go for oddball stuff on Amazon and CriminalMinds/NCIS/Black List--y stuff on regular TV. I'll be giving The Passage a go, looks interesting.

Oh yes. My new cableboxes gave me 1080 HD. I've been a TV lover since Televisions were furniture!

I've always loved Mythbusters as well. They even disproved that "you can't polish a turd" What's not to love?

Well that could be either regular OTA or cable TV, or something that's on YouTube, Vimeo, etc.

Again giving you the options on whatever you see, I sometimes do youtube.
I was a HUGE fan of crime shows, fictional: Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Law & Order: SVU, Criminal Minds, NCIS, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and tons of nonfiction shows about murder and other crimes. Then something weird happened...
While I was hospitalized [for six months], having come within, literally, hours of dying, I had the TV on all the time. Over time, I realized that those shows made me feel...weird, uneasy. I developed an actual aversion to seeing anything 'dark'--like murder, kidnapping, rape, child abuse. It became so bad that if a show, like SVU, came on, I'd grab the remote as fast as I could to change it.
Still, now, those shows are off limits for me. I had to delete a bunch of stuff from my DVRs' 'record' lists. I was particularly fond of Murder Book (whose cable channel escapes me right now), but it had to go, too.
I also took a long hiatus from news, but have recently started easing back into the local news and, occasionally, national.
Well. News is scary! Worse than Criminal Minds for sure.
Funny (not really but) how an event can change you. Just glad you're still here!

Soon when the social media sites go down, it will be nothing but forums and chats (i.e. mIRC) will dominate the galaxy.
