My TV works fine without either of those, and I get at least 10x more channels than someone would have just 50 years ago.

- asdff 5y agoAre you watching more TV though? Probably not. I had "modern" cable maybe 4 years ago. 500 channels or however many in the package, not really sure, but it was pretty much the works. It looked really impressive on the bill seeing all those channels, but in reality you are only using like the same few dozen or so major channels you've been coming to since the 90s and you just scroll on past the remaining 470 channels of pure junk garbage like QVC and clones, local news in varying states of HD, gem shows, highschool sports, etc.
- Rebelgecko 5y agoA lot of the channels are definitely not useful for me. Probably 1/3 of them are in languages I don't speak, and then there's the junk you mentioned like QVC. I mostly use it for sports and local news. The quality is actually pretty good. Even though I can stream through the ESPN app, I'll watch a football game on ABC when I can because the picture quality is significantly better.
