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 we’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, that’s reserved to when I’m too tired to do anything else. I still persevere with Coronation Street, F1 and most of the stuff on DMax…This laptop is my only connection to the internet.

2 of our tv’s aren’t connected to the chimney aerial, and although the Panasonic magic box is, I have no idea whether it’s necessary or not as most things will come down t’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 - haven’t missed it so far - so much else to enjoy.

You know the old saying about one’s last thoughts on one’s deathbed not being ā€œI wish I’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:

I’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 it’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 I’m kitchen, smaller one in conservatory and even smaller one in bedroom.

John loves his TV especially science fiction. TV is John’s pleasure.

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

I font mind the occasional drama but I’m not really a massive watcher of TV as I’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

Just one large smart TV in the lounge, connected to a Talk Talk TV Box that pathetically records just two programmes while watching another. Don’t really know why I bother since I have all the catch-up channels I need, and many other channels I either don’t need or ever watch.

Two medium size smart TVs, one in the living room, the other in the dining room. Essentially they’re ā€˜his and hers’ 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 can’t have them without everything else (I think that’s how it works). If it were just me, I’d do away with all that and stick to Netflix and Prime, which is almost all I ever watch.
