| I cut the cord back in 2017, and now pretty much rely solely on the internet via streaming for any entertainment needs. Seems as time goes on I know of less and less individuals who have it anymore. How about you? Do you still have cable or satellite TV, or at the very least know of anybody in your circle that does? |
 |
| I think so? Like basically my grandparents still live here in Canada, (but they like come and go to the Philippines every 6 months or so bc they retired there) but anyways whenever I head downstairs and go and check on them they'll always be watching like THE CRAZIEST filipino dramas ever on the GMA channel 😭😭😭 Either that or like masterchef, hell's kitchen, kitchen nightmares, family feud, jeopardy, some random home reno stuff on hgtv, etc. Which I honestly sometimes join in and watch for some of them bc who DOESN'T want to watch gordon ramsay flame the living crap out of people lmao. ALSO if they're watching any true crime stuff I'm immediately joining in, bc I LOVE THAT STUFF (OK NOT THE CRIME PART, but I mean like it's really interesting to me.) |
| I don't have cable or satellite either, most of my entertainment is found on YouTube or just playing video games. However, I do enjoy watching TV at hotels and at my mom's house. Commercials are sometimes very funny but I couldn't watch them all the time. Why would I pay money to watch commercials 40% of the time? If TV was free however. Maybe. Maybe. |

| I don't have cable or satellite, but I got an antenna! I can catch quite a few channels with it, and it's free! (I practically never use it, though) |

| Snip-snip, stopped needing that shit once I started watching YouTubers instead. Now instead of having an expensive cable TV and internet bill, I just have an expensive... internet... bill. :( |

| @56709 I was just about to mention that. The only places that I really see cable TV or satellite utilized in in general, is restaurants that have TV available, and hotels. |

| @Daviljoe193 I hear you on that one! YouTube has pretty much become my cable TV these days. Even if streaming them on a home device has gotten a bit more tedious since those ads have become so much more longer. |

| it's in my house but I never use it, american TV went to shit in 2000 so I've only watched anime since then....and some marvel movies couple times a year I go to youtube for a video game walkthrough but that's all |
| My co-worker who lives in my back house recently some got cable. We have basic in the main house now. |

| @MissHeed Do you ever have issues with them messing up your cable bill? It's one of the reasons why I decided to get rid of Comcast, seems like every other month something was always being overcharged. |
|
| Yes, my internet connection runs via TV cable network, it's a combined technology. |
No, this isn't my signature. |
| I have ip tv mixed with the state tv, idk how they do that via the same cable. At this very moment I'm watching Brazil vs Chile on FIFA+, and switching to the Pulse with Francine Lacqua on Bloom+ from time to time. What? I'm a bit old-fashioned, I know, haha. The funny part is that I doubt these whole 1000 ip channels cost much more than a *mandatory* fee the state demands for their boring stuff. And when I say mandatory, I mean it: heard an anecdote of ARD only giving a generous 50% discount to blind people, because they can still *listen* to tv. We must support our freedom of information, they say... To their defense, they stream UEFA and other sports in 4K. |

| I don't have cable. Never had. I know my parents still has it, but I don't think they watch as much TV as they once used to. Well... I am technically lying. I have access to it if I want it, my landlord have given me access if I want it, but I've declined. They upgraded my internet a bit because of that... which is nice. |

| If we don't, we don't. If we do, we don't use it. We prefer streaming because we can watch anytime. |

| Yes, satellite due to my internet being limited in usage before throttling to slower than dial up for one reason. I may have to cut it though because the high costs and some bullshit hidden fees. I am still trying to figure out how I get NHK World Japan when it isn't even listed in any of their packages I can find. You record it on DVR play 10 minutes into it for a half hour show and skip them or use commercials as time to grab a snack. |

| @Retro8bit Nah. They'll never mess me over no bill in my name here lol. Last time had cable in my name was like 2015.. @Zakatsuki_ It's like having a sitcom family. |
| Nope. I have my TV plugged into my PC. |

| @MissHeed Looks like you ended up cutting the cord before I did. Good on you! It's honestly not worth the trouble and hassle of dealing with cable. Did you ever take advantage of the video on demand features they used to have back in the day? Or perhaps even still have. |

| @MissHeed lmaooo , i was thinking of a sitcom. Do you love sitcom Sol, which one is your fav? Personally i do appreciate sitcoms, but i guess it's useless to specify which one is my fav since you probably already know |
| 19/09/2025 🕊❤ |
| My house does but only my parents ever make use of it. |
Some of you never watched Bakugan Battle Brawlers on TeleToon in 2008 and it shows. |
| My parents' house has with severall rooms connected, even the basement used to be connected, but it was given up when the antenna cable was needed, plus, ever since getting AC a couple of years ago, my father stopped using a basement room for cooling down (it didn't help as much as opposed to using AC). Also at one point, my father took a TV to the balcony so we could watch Germany vs Brazil in 2014 there because it was quite warm xD Myself, I don't really use it even though I could. Even got my new TV connected as well |

| @Retro8bit It's actually way before that, like 2009. Back in 2012 to 2014 I got cable in my name since my roommate was too young at the time. @Zakatsuki_ I didn't have a favorite. I didn't watch lot tv growing up. Only time really watch tv was on Saturday Mornings then again at night, although sometimes rainy days after school. I mostly played outside. I had to pick one it would be Jamie Foxx show. |
| I discovered that I have access to a lot of channels for free with my TV, but I don't pay for any cable. |
