I might get rid of my telly!

I wouldn’t be without a tv but rarely watch it live. I record programmes I like on the Sky planner and then watch them when I please. Some of it is dire I know but some of it is very good. I’m another real marigold hotel fan

I would hate to be without a TV. We have it on from 6pm news until we go to bed at 11pm.
We can usually find something on Sky channels to watch if there is nothing else. We both love NCIS and Salvage Hunters for example.

Not had a telly for over 20 years and don't miss it.

Just about everything I'd like to watch can be picked up on my laptop, so I can't see the point of having a telly as well. My daughter's installed Netflix, and there's IPlayer and youtube, so a choice for catching up on films, plus the BBC news stream for keeping up with anything else that's going on in the world.

I cant get out so my tv is on all day, a lot of the time for back ground noise. I watch a lot of youtube films via chromecast on my tv and also a lot of catch up tv via chromecast. Theres quite a good amount of late night tv to catch up on and I go to bed at 10 pm.

Ours is on a lot at the moment in whatever rooms we happen to be in - mostly by me. I can't stand silence so put it on as background noise. Husband can just sit and stare into space doing nothing without it on which drives me to distraction so I'll put YouTube on or Prime just to have some sound (other than his snoring )!

Would not want to be without my tv. Never have it on in the day, but switch on for 6 news. As someone else said, if there’s nothing I fancy watching, it goes off and I read or look at my I pad.

I like my TV but don't have it on as much as I used to.

I dumped my TV 7 years ago and have rarely missed it. I sometimes watch the news online on my laptop. I also watch the odd movie on Neflix . Yesterday evening I watched a super 2 hour watercolor painting demonstration on YouTube.

I think there are some very good programmes on the TV. Not everything is to my liking but there is certainly enough to entertain me for a couple of hours or so in the evening.

Everybody raves about Netflix, but having tried it for a few weeks, I am not at all impressed. The BBC gets such bad press and yet there are so many interesting programmes on its channels - to suit all kinds of tastes.

I wouldn’t want to be without it altogether. However I do pick and choose and when I have watched any chosen programme the set is turned off . I can’t stand it just droning on in the corner as some people do.

We watched the old Van Der Valk from Talking Pictures last night , it was dire . We usually watch about an hour and a half a day but some streaming from the RSNO Marquee TV etc. so not all programmes from the usual channels. We did enjoy a Lewis the other night .

Not me. We enjoy watching TV at night, and my DH is a sports fan so it's a necessity as far as he is concerned!

I can see how the younger generation is giving up cable, and now only subscribing to on line viewing such as Netflix. For all the endless channels, quite often there is nothing on that I would care to watch.

I've enjoyed the flower show each night but beyond that it's a game of online patience. Afternoons I have the CD's on the go.

I watch the old films on the Talking Pictures channel more than any other programmes.
The Marigold Hotel tomorrow.

I was asking myself would I rather TV or laptop if I could only have one? I guess laptop as I don't really watch a lot of TV, mainly just interesting documentaries and films. I find it's often just company when I'm on my own.

I wouldn't want to be without the telly. It keeps DH amused so I can read in peace.

I really wouldn’t want to be without it, and I think there are some great programmes on. I’m a keen reader too, and listen to the radio and podcasts during the day, but like a bit of variety. Tonight I’m enjoying The Great British Sewing Bee, yesterday it was The A Word, tomorrow The Real Marigold Hotel, etc. There’s something we enjoy most nights and if not there’s plenty that we’ve recorded or can cast from iPlayer and so on. Perhaps it’s the dawn to dusk thing that’s sickened you of it, Artdecogran? Too much of a good (or bad?) thing?

Tonight is ok as I like the Repair Shop and Sewing Bee but that’s about all. Been watching Netflix and Amazon mainly but rarely switch on until mid evening.

I warch very little but its useful sonetines so I will keep it and jusr switch it off. It can stop you doing other interesting things.

Well it’s 20.54 in the evening and ours hadn’t been on yet.

In the winter we watch more but quite frankly there’s not a lot of quality TV.

Always have a book on the go?
