TV? What’s that?
Everything through my laptop. Except for a shared Netflix account that costs me 5 bucks a month, and I only watch it on my phone.
We all know Frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster.
How does it cost $5/month?
Aha, thanks
We split the costs, as I said my part is 5. Because shared.
Makes perfect sense now. I think my brain had a moment

Plex + HDHR = beautiful.
For everything else I just sail some seas.
Helps that I’m a lifetime plex member and have been for a long time now.
I have a local plex server and obtain all my media with other methods

Not 100% true. A while back I bought a ton of dvds from a going out a business sale for like 10c each. I ripped them onto my server and stuck the dvd in storage.
I’m talking over 150 movies for cheap
That’s awesome!

Where I live, you get very little over air TV. In fact, I’m not sure there’s anything now.
We don’t pay for TV, but I have a little yo-ho-ho station, check out DVDs from the library, stream, or occasionally watch one of those free Pluto channels if I just want background noise
I’ve never had TV since I moved out from home.
I use neither.
In the United States here and I haven’t had non-streaming television since I moved out of my parent’s house.
Toyed with things like Sling and YouTube TV once, but they just aren’t worth it.
If I watch any shows or movies it is from a selfhosted Jellyfin server. No need for any subscriptions or cable TV.
I pay for cable, even pay extra for HBOs and 24/7 porn channel, tho this latter costs me $0.0028 per month so why not (it’s bad).
what cable package do you have?
I use over-the-air supplemented by a few streaming services. After years of cable, it was startling how much better the picture and sound are with OTA. It used to be that cable was better quality, but they have compressed it down to the point where it is just barely acceptable.
No
I have an OTA antenna but it’s really just there in case we need news and the internet is out. In the same we that there’s a crank radio in my emergency supplies. Everything else is Roku.
I had an antenna set up to see what I could get, and I can pick up affiliates from all the major networks, which is nice.
But it’s so full of commercials I can’t stand watching anything other than PBS so I took it down.
Yeah you really need something to record the TV then watch it later skipping the commercials in order for it to be useful.
