In the UK we have many options for TV.
The major options (as far as I can tell are):
* FreeView. This is digital TV that comes through your aerial. As the name implies, you don't pay a subscription for a base set of channels - which is quite a large number. Most of these channels have advertising. Some, like the BBC channels, only advertise their own programming, apps, etc.
* Netflix. Pay, and don't get adverts.
* Sky TV. This requires a subscription fee, and provides the FreeView set of channels plus more. There are still adverts, though, so you get to pay and also watch adverts. This is somehow a popular option!
- Leherenn 6y agoIt's a popular option because it is the only way to watch some content, especially sport. It's not that people like them, it's just that between paying to watch football with ads and not watching football, they prefer the former.
