I watch a lot of TV, but it's mostly international news over satellite and Internet. I rarely watch local and traditional network TV.

I bought every available program on DTV including the NFL package for my 85 yo father. When he dies I will go back to minimal but will still have it.

It really is.  We ditched it a little while ago, and between Hulu, Netflix, Amazon Prime, and an over the air antenna there's tons of stuff to watch.  Though we have found that we aren't watching it as much as we used to anyway.  I suppose that when we had Directv, it was easy to just sit on the couch and watch something we didn't really want to watch, but that kept us occupied or mildly entertained.  Now that we have to select what we want to watch, most of the time we seem to find something better to do.

Yes, we have DirecTV so I can watch my fishing and shooting shows.  DVR everything and skip the commercials.

My wife and I do have satellite television now despite the fact that we have Apple TV and Netflix.

The reason is that I like to watch shows like AMC's the "The Walking Dead" and shows on HBO, Showtime, and sometimes various other shows will catch my attention on other stations. I also like being able to have access to local news and national news.  I understand that the internet is becoming increasingly more of a medium for those things, but I'm still a fan of channel surfing sometimes.

Nope not for the last 11 years....nothing but a depravity pump....if you can liken the human soul (mind) to a computer ....its simply a matter
of GIGO.

Marx once stated that "Religion is the opiate of the people".....
The Marxists have taken over and now "Entertainment is the opiate of the people"
it's didactic and sewage brought to your mind by them...
