Whether it be using an antenna or as part of Foxtel or other service? What do you watch?

    Never. Don't even have aerial connected to TV anymore. Simply cannot stand the garbage content on TV nowadays and the constant ads sprinkled with some cut up movies/shows.

    Aside from occasional sports, I see no reason to do so.

      Same. Disconnected the aerial during an audio change around and never had a reason to reconnect it.
      My old man thinks I'm mental !

      That’s why i don't watch foxtel fullstop

    Only used to watch free to air tv for weekday simpsons and maybe would randomly flick to sbs from 11-1am to see if I could chance some random European art house movie with some nudity. Ah the 90s.. it was a simpler time

      I saw that Mass Air Flow Sensor documentary also. Bloody awesome. Always watch the repeats.

    I watched it everyday for a week recently. Wow it's gone to the shitter. The same 5 ads and all these American shows about building decks, buying homes in Florida and other shit.

      buying homes

      Husband: I collect beanie babies

      Wife: I paint rocks and sell it on Etsy

      Both: we have a combined budget of 4.5 million

  • cashless on 11/02/2023 - 20:43

    World Cup. No ads during live game
    Rest of FTA unwatchable

    Need another option for me: watch it a few times a year
    AFL grand final, maybe a few other things

  • Sinnerator on 12/02/2023 - 08:56

    The shows are mostly crap, I can't watch what I want when I want, AND THE EFFING COMMERCIALS.

    VPN
    Qbittorent
    and I just quietly sit there watching my Linux Distros download.

    My TV antenna lost some channels a few years ago after a storm. Saw no point in getting it fixed or replaced.

  • ozbs25 on 12/02/2023 - 14:26

    A few times a year. Wish we didn't have to watch CH9 but they have exclusive (live) rights to a few NRL games.

    Only for sports.

  • RotundPolarBear on 12/02/2023 - 15:14
