       As someone who took down the satellite dish and disconnected the TV aerial antenna upon moving in to our house about 7 years ago.. I'm finding the experience of watching terrestrial TV and the channels' catch up apps both infuriating and sickening..The sheer volume of ads is infuriating and much more than 7 years ago.. the content of a large volume is "Brexit is great" and it's bloody sickening.. though I am in Grampian TV region so could just be the Tory influence up here.. though my suspicion is that it's widespread.(https://jk.nipponalba.scot/note/61086e81/)

       @jk I've deliberately never installed satellite or cable TV. I used to watch too much TV and the thought of having more choice was scary. I would never have left the house.As to the adverts, I like how some shows are sponsored. It gives me time to turn the sound off at the ads and back on when the show is back on.

       @wizardofosmium @jk I haven't owned a TV for more than 25 years. I don't miss it.I can't imagine anyone lying on their deathbed saying: "I wish I had watched more TV",
