Likewise , I’d rather just watch an old horror film on DVD.
Defo no soap operas though!

Yeah but sometimes they get a bit over enthusiastic in that 15 seconds of fame, showing off their new teeth, their new nose hair trim etc. … enough to make you turn over tho innit.

Reasons to turnover?
If your wife pokes you in the back and tells you you’re snoring …… 
There’s lots of TV genres I wouldn’t usually watch, such as Sport and most “Reality” or “Celebrity” type challenge / game shows but I rarely see them just come on to the screen because I usually only put the TV on to watch a specific programme I know is going to be broadcast or to look at the TV Guide Lists to choose a programme I’d like to watch.
I’d only abandon the programme I’d chosen and turn it off if the programme turned out not to be as good as I hoped it would be and it wasn’t holding my interest - or if it turned out to contain lots of unnecessary bad language or too many graphically filmed scenes of violence.

Know what you mean Boot, we are the same except for the News we set the programmes we want watch on record for the week. This is a job we do on a Friday evening together, go through the TV Paper for the week and set everything up, then we can watch when we want.
AND, Wizzing through the adverts is great.

My free to air TV viwing is very limited, for years have only watched one channel anyway - ABC HD. They can’t afford sports so that is no problem. Every evening I turn on the TV for the 7pm News, on Wednesday I watch Hard Quiz and/or Mad as Hell and on Mondays I view Media Watch. That’s it, never change channels and nothing makes me turn off the TV except the end of a program.
Even before advertising on the commercial stations became absurd I was never one to flick through channels, I used the TV guide to select what I watched or the TV was off.
If I watch a film or series it will be on Stan, Netflix, Prime or Disney+ (in actual fact I rarely watch the latter two).
