Have you got a TV?

Hi

I have noticed that some of you do not have a TV in the house

How do you manage, I love my big smart Android TV in the lounge and my large 3D upstairs

several large screen monitors connected to internet via computer. to own a tv would cost a licence fee. you would need a fibre or satellite connection or the speed would not be enough.

I have a couple of Android TVs and I tend to watch streaming TV. The only free to air TV I watch is the ABCs evening news at 7pm (just started)

No licence fee here, and with Internet TV who would pay it?

Non smart TV in lounge, connected to a Panasonic box which does all the internet stuff, records and plays DVD and blurays (although weā€™ve never used this lattercfunction much). No smart TV in log cabin in garden, with Firestick hardwired to internet. Daughter has smart TV in bedroom.

Nothing smart in my house (yes I know :roll_eyes:) Old fashioned TV in the lounge, and another one in the kitchen. A stick on the chimney and freeview is all we need here. Too many hobbies to watch TV, thatā€™s reserved to when Iā€™m too tired to do anything else. I still persevere with Coronation Street, F1 and most of the stuff on DMaxā€¦This laptop is my only connection to the internet.

2 of our tvā€™s arenā€™t connected to the chimney aerial, and although the Panasonic magic box is, I have no idea whether itā€™s necessary or not as most things will come down tā€™internet cable. (BTW, when we stripped rooms for decorating, I installed cat5 cable throughout with associated patch lead terminals in each room).

Threw the TV out in 2003 - havenā€™t missed it so far - so much else to enjoy.

You know the old saying about oneā€™s last thoughts on oneā€™s deathbed not being ā€œI wish Iā€™d spent more time at the officeā€, well rather alarmingly it crossed my mind a few days back that I hope I live long enough to watch the final series of Doc Martin!!!

Somewhere along the line, my priorities have become somewhat confused :flushed:

Iā€™m sticking with the trusty 10 year old Sony Bravia and Sony DVD/Blu-ray player.

I watch very little TV, Antiques Road Show, Country File and historical documentaries, I rather like Lucy Worsley!

Other than that itā€™s old Brit horror films on DVD :ghost: :skull:

3 Smart TVs one in each Bedroom and one in sitting room , connected to Satelitte Dish to a Freesat HD Box , and my Broadband , so can watch YT , NETFlix, Iplayer, and Freeview stations .

But Im very picky on what I watch , and Youtube is mostly over my Laptop .and some TV programmes/films also

We have one in the bedroom which hasn`t been on for years,and one in the lounge which is used for around two hours a day.
I prefer youtube and thies forum,much more entertaining and informative.

Got two one smart tv in the lounge that is great for you tube radio and just tv watching then a smaller one in the bedroom just connected to a dvd player so if I cant sleep I can watch a film or old tv series. Cant imagine not having one I love you tube too much.

Large one in living room, smaller one Iā€™m kitchen, smaller one in conservatory and even smaller one in bedroom.

John loves his TV especially science fiction. TV is Johnā€™s pleasure.

I like to watch police programmes and hospital real life. Oh and Dickinsons Real Deal.

I font mind the occasional drama but Iā€™m not really a massive watcher of TV as Iā€™m always either out or in my craft/computer room

Hi

I love it when you talk this techie stuff.

I have no idea at all about what it means

Telly but no aerial here too, gave up watching live TV a couple of years ago when they stopped the free licence and now watch Britbox or Prime.

Three TVā€™s, all terrestrial, one of which connected to NOW TV and Amazon, another connected to a server for my film stash.

Just one large smart TV in the lounge, connected to a Talk Talk TV Box that pathetically records just two programmes while watching another. Donā€™t really know why I bother since I have all the catch-up channels I need, and many other channels I either donā€™t need or ever watch.

Two medium size smart TVs, one in the living room, the other in the dining room. Essentially theyā€™re ā€˜his and hersā€™ TVs, his being the living room one, mine being the other one. We have a Virgin TV package, the whole shebang, because Mr B wants all the sports channels, and you canā€™t have them without everything else (I think thatā€™s how it works). If it were just me, Iā€™d do away with all that and stick to Netflix and Prime, which is almost all I ever watch.
