Sports and news that’s it really. Everything else I watch it on the dvr. Hate commercials. Worst case I start a show late into airing (30 minutes into a hour show), but I never watch it live unless it’s on HBO or something

I've found that I've almost entirely quit watching live TV. Once you lose that attachment to sports live TV has almost nothing to offer. I still follow sports news online but as I got older Sports just got kinda meh to me. It takes itself way too seriously but that's neither here nor there.

I stream everything either on YouTube or streaming services. All the networks make their shows available online anyway and being a binge watcher I'm mostly behind on stuff so I can watch it at my leisure.

I'd say 60% of all I view comes from YouTube. 20% from Crunchyroll, VRV, and Funimation and 20% from Hulu, Disney+, HBO Max, Netflix, and Prime Video.

Obviously watching so much YouTube I'm a Premium sub. In fact me joining Premium was what changed my viewing habits. I can't imagine what people who watch YouTube without a Premium sub go through. It must be bad.
I watch news and sports/wrestling live but everything else I watch needs to be watched without commercials.

Premium youtube really that good? I find myself being sucked into the youtube vortex like everynight...end up watching it for like 5 hours lol.

i havnt watched regular cable since xmas at my parents. I use b-rad tv and that covers me for sports and everything else is on hulu. Plus share different accts like netflix/max/peacock/wwe/disney with people in my family.

'Only' the news. I put 'only' in quotation marks because that's 99% of what I watch.

CNN got better fukkery than any Netflix or Disney+ show right now. :lupe:

Like a lot of brehs said, only sports. I haven’t even had cable for like 3 years now. I don’t even use most the apps on my TV. Just YouTube and Netflix. When I watch sports, I just stream it from my laptop and cast it to the TV, or watch it on my computer monitor hanging up in my room. Any tv series or movies I want to watch that’s not on Netflix, I just find it free online and cast it to my tv or watch it on the monitor in my room. TV is dying.

Bought a ge antenna a few year, local news and sports, easier on the bandwidth.
For whatever reason, the antenna does work on my mom's tv, so I got her Peacock and cbs all access so she can watch the news

When "Better Call Saul" starts back up, most likely.

The Coli threads that accompany shows are too good to pass up in real time.

Only football and wrestling, and I stream that often as well. Shows like Better Call Saul I'll watch live when that returns. Mostly everything else is thru streaming or on Hulu.

I love Adult Swim, I watch it often when I come home from work and have a few drinks.

I like how they play a mix of new content, the comfy stuff that everyone likes (like Family Guy), and throwbacks.

Literally sports. Finally dropped cable last yr, and I haven’t missed it in the slightest.

And it’s like a culture shock every time I tune in. Commercials feel :flabbynsick: now
