I don't. I simply don't have any interests in watching cable TV. It is a huge waste of time. Everything I need to watch can be watched on Youtube. Youtube is certainly a site I can't live without, but I can certainly live without Cable TV. I haven't watched Cable TV for nearly 3 years.

I got only cable and HD cable. 3/4 of what you can watch is reruns and trash programs.

Cooler than me. Cable plebeian reporting in. I agree that it is largely a waste of money nowadays with so many online streaming services but I still find it useful now and again.

My house has digital cable, but it's mostly my Mom that watches it. I only use my TV for video games and watching Anime DVDs.

I only use my TV for playing my PS3. Except I rarely even play it anymore, so in other words, I rarely use my TV anymore.

I stopped watching commercial television in 1989 because I got tired of the advertising. Since then, DVDs and (more recently) websites have been my primary sources of things to watch. I have never purposely subscribed to cable TV, but it was included with apartments where I used to live. I only used it to watch public television. Cable TV isn't included where I live now, and I don't want to pay for it, so the PBS video website is now my source for public television.

Cable TV provides a lot of worthless programming for way too much money. The money I have spent on Crunchyroll and FUNimation is a great deal by comparison - plenty of material that I actually want to watch for a very reasonable price.

I don't really watch Television but because I can't afford satellite, I guess I do watch cable.

Not like there's really anything much on the latter option anyways, only if you want a variety of shows beyond cable's seemingly bland options.

I canceled my cable subscription years ago, but women want entertainment, so I'm building a library of high-quality movies that contain positive conditioning messages that will gradually isolate them from the surrounding popular culture.

I use satellite television to watch some of the anime I watch. Without it, I wouldn't have seen FMA:B, Black Lagoon, Cowboy Bebop, Durarara!!, FLCL, Sword Art Online, Blue Exorcist, Tenchi Muyo GXP, Samurai 7, Casshern Sins, and Deadman Wonderland.

There is no point of pirating if you can just stream it online. Most anime can be streamed online for free, so there is no point pirating. Movies, on the other hand, can't be streamed online (for the most part), so there is incentive to pirate movies. And I do pirate movies.

Yeah.

I watch shows on NatGeo, Discovery, TLC, Animal Planet, Star World and etc. I don't like streaming. The same thing goes for the anime I watch, I rather download it. So I don't watch Animax since I've already seen most of the shows they air.

If I visit my parents I can watch TV sometimes. I don't have cable myself, though, I don't even own a TV. Most channels offer a streaming service of some sort, anyway.

It's been nearly 4 years since I watched anything on TV, other the news once in a while. I don't care about most of the stuff shown on TV anyway. And as for the few things on TV I do care about, I can always stream them or download them off the internet at my own convenience.
Discovery National Geographic and Animal Planet were the last channels I continued to watch, until even they started to drop in quality. Everything's too sensationalized on those channels these days.

I watch a few shows like family guy on tv, and a few dramas. I used to watch a lot of YouTube videos but after a while they get repetitive hence why I'm trying to get more into anime now.
