    I have one for my kids but rarely watch it myself, maybe the news in Spanish once a month. I only watch YouTube, which is TV I suppose. Previously in Switzerland I had no TV at all for 10 years.

    I go to the pub to watch cricket - that's it as far as tv is concerned.
    Beer is cheap in SEA, and perfect weather for drinking it all year round.

    We have a TV but only use streaming services. Even then, rarely. Maybe a movie once a week, a show on iView?

    Free-to-air is dead to me.......(and by the look of their financials maybe dead to themselves soon too...)

    The govt needs to amend media laws. It's not nineteen nighty nine.

    News and sport is only provided on free to air and Foxtel, a bit. Free to air has a few more years left in her. News and sport is important for a lot of people.

    If I was investing in media I'd want a company that has radio (multiple), free to air, net, streaming and print.

    We have multiple but all bar 1 are not used as tv's. We have Netflix and Hulu and the kids stream stuff. My wife watches some morning tv before 6:30am in bed.

    I watch streamed tv shows/ movies while working late at night on one of my computer screens. Helps me to not fall asleep.

    I have one but rarely turn it on as well. The same for an Xbox which I've only touched like 3 times since ownership. Way too busy to sit down and watch anything, but on the long weekend, I do watch some Netflix documentaries.

    Hmmm... I was feeling weird for not watching Game of Thrones.

    As a child we never had tv and even now I forget to turn it on. No Facebook twitter etc. but love the Internet on my I pad. I've heard you can get other websites as well as property chat.

    Our dog chewed up the antenna cable almost a 8 years ago. I still haven't gotten around to fixing it yet. We do have a Netfix subscription though.
