Anyone else here NOT like TV?

[Steel Maiden]

I'm not saying it's wrong to watch TV but I'm just wondering if there is anyone else who never watches TV here?

I don't even own a TV. I can't stand TV. Films are impossible for me because I find them extremely confusing (characters, emotional references, body language interpretation, "reading between the lives" etc) and documentaries I watch online.

Although I do like sci-fi.

Even as a kid I rarely watched TV. I spent more time on the computer (especially when I got obsessed about programming when I was in primary school).

As I said I'm not judging anyone whether they like TV or not.

I always end up Googling the plot of a film so I don't have to watch it.

I don't particularly like tv. Even as a kid I was never that into it. Don't know why.

When I moved into my current flat, me and my flatmate agreed not to get a tv but use the money we saved on a tv license to get a better internet connection.

I rarely watch telly. I like watching DVD's though.

[BridgesAndBalloons]

I don't particularly like television, but I do I like watching documentaries and I really like films, but I never watch daytime TV or soaps and things like that.

I don't own a TV because I don't really think I'd get enough use out of it to justify the cost of buying one and the license and everything.

I only watch DVDs no broadcasted tv at all :)

I've only watched TV, when somebody else has paid for the license, or it's been included in a bill for where I'm living in a shared placement.

Aside from that, I can get everything else I need on the internet.

Basically, this makes me wonder why I pay for things that I can get for free...

Hm.

I have a TV
I have turned it on about 5 times in the 5 months I have lived here, each time was to put a dvd on, which I then got distracted from.

I dislike the regular programs and the way peoples' lives revolve around it

[raspberry_swirl]

I absolutely love TV, I find it relaxes me so much.

I don't watch films, mainly stuff like Amazon with bruce parry, or anything about human lives...

I find it's one of the only things where I can switch off and relax, forget about everything

[nowhereman]

I prefer reading but there are a few shows I've been obsessed with, though unfortunately none of them are on anymore.

[Isoverity]

I don't watch anything except sports and TV is very good for that. Otherwise turning tv on is like opening a manhole cover.

[Jefferson.Meriwether]

Nope, haven't got a TV anymore because I hardly ever watched it. I've got a fair few DVDs that I watch on my computer. I much prefer curling up on the sofa with a good book than watching TV.

I rarely ever watch TV.

I do own a TV, but that's to plug my computer and playstation into.

I watch films on Netflix every once in a while, but that's about it.
