I still watch it now and then...sometimes its just nice to have the noise in the background to be honest...I don't like pure silence much...I even sleep with a fan on at night because I don't like sleeping in pure silence.
I record a lot of stuff and I don't watch live tv much anymore...but I still do now and then.
I watch sports on tv(mostly football and hockey), other than that I stream stuff on Netflix.
I watch some TV shows, but streaming and usually at the computer.
In fact, up until literally two weeks ago, I was still rocking a CRT TV. I couldn't justify the expense of a flatscreen for something I basically only used for my Wii. We ended up spending part of our tax return on a modest flatscreen for the bedroom and moved our CRT to the living room. Everything we watch on it is still all streaming, though, through the Roku. We don't have cable.
r.i.p. alleria. 1997-2017. blizzard ruined alleria forever. blizz assassinated alleria's character and appearance.
i will never forgive you for this blizzard.
if you live in the states and have for example a family of 4 and want to game online watch tv online, stream movies. better open that wallet wide cause your going to hit that data cap really fast which is capped at 300gb for comcast who supplies over half the u.s.'s internet.
also if your referring to pirating tv shows that's illegal.

I watch tv only on the days I want to watch tv live. There's certain shows I always want to watch right away and not wait for a stream to go online. Sometimes there's 3 shows on in 1 night that I want to watch, so I'll watch them live so I'm not still up at midnight.
I don't know about you, but MY gaming rig includes a large flatscreen TV.
I'm a pc girl through and through and half the time I'm watching netflix on one computer screen, while using the other to actualy play.
However couch gaming has a great deal of appeal, even when you are playing PC games with keyboard and mouse on a lap table, while relaxing on a couch.
its not an either or proposition, you know.
My disabled children watch TV to pass the time. Whenever I find a show that I like, I usually just buy the series collection and watch it whenever I like, though.
I am both the Lady of Dusk, Vheliana Nightwing & Dark Priestess of Lust, Loreleî Legace!

I don't watch a lot. I do have a TV at the table. Sometimes I'll flip through channels while I'm eating and stop on whatever looks interesting.
Aside from that, the only two shows I watch regularly are Vikings and Walking Dead. I was a big NCIS fan for a few years but kinda got bored of it later.
It's not elitism, it's an intelligent, cheaper and more convenient way of watching quality programming on any device you want, whenever you want without sifting through a bunch of crap that doesn't interest you and locking you into a rigid schedule.
I HAVE a TV (a Sony Bravia HDR 4k 65 inch), but I don't have a standard TV service package.
that you need to specify. because the way your post reads is that you are anti TV sets as much as anti TV service packages.
that said. before I got a ps4, I had a dedicated blueray player. I don't have unlimited hardrive space to have everything I may want to watch or rewatch in good quality recording. Netflix etc? changes their selection all the time as their licenses run out. blueray/dvd's? solve that. and since DVD/blueray sales/preorders STILL affect whether something might get a sequel or at least revival of some sort? I'll stick to my nice, physical collection, thank you very much. (and yes, I'm that wierdo that still has a physical book collection)
Cable subs have been going lower and lower each quarter. The cost of subscriptions have risen. You can tell there is a slow shift toward internet.
Main reason cable tried to raise prices of the internet with their FCC net neutrality war is because their business model of cable package can't survive without it. Add revenue is lower. There is also probably strings being pulled by large networks that would be forced to die, downsize, or go click-bait and get rekt if everything went a la carte style viewership.
Either way, it will be fun to watch cable die. It's just dumb.
