What’s the longest you have been without a TV, and how was that for you?

Years and years; and it was and is fine for me!

My parents had a TV I would watch, but selectively.

When I moved into my own home, back in the late-1990s, I did not buy a TV and have not done so since. I don't need one.

The trouble is though, that it does create a sort of novelty value for me so is rather unsociably distracting when I visit anyone (relatives mainly) who go and leave the wretched TV on regardless, unless it's for something we both want to watch anyway.


I obtain all my news, views, information, education and entertainment from the radio.

Sometimes my work entailed a week or fortnight away and I could not watch the television in the hotel room because I have no idea how to operate all those keypad things with anonymously-numbered buttons and no instructions. What disappointed me though was there were no radios in the rooms. (Or were the radio broadcast channels available via the TV with its impenetrable control unit?)

On holiday I can live without TV, radio or newspapers, and my non-Internet portable telephone switched off except for very occasional, very short social-arrangement calls, for two or even three weeks at a time, and have done many times.

10 years more or less. I rarely missed it,I greatly prefer listening to music.

Have not had a tv for a couple years now.

I haven't owned or watched a TV in 15 years. But I haven't paid much attention to it since I was 16 in 1966. Total waste of time. As is the Internet.

I don't watch much TV. I've gone as long as a couple of years without one. I have one now but it hasn't come on at all today, and that isn't unusual.

I have a few friends and relatives, mostly older that’s still use a television set either the over the air kind or the classic Cable
I was astonished at how much they charge for cable now.
I could put up an antenna, attached to my big screen, but like you are use other services now.

I finally cancelled fucked up dishtv last year sometime. Have SiriusXm radio now. I'll know this time I'll never get cable or sattelite again. I'm done with it. Am old and sick of all the bad tv. Virtually everything's shit nowadays, and everyone loves it here in Murka! Crazy

TV with channels? Or without anything?

I haven't hav channels the last 5 years, so only used youtube and movies as entertainment.

We dont have TV channels 😅
We’re subscribed to streaming services (Netflix, Disney, Amazon, Apple etc..)

I use it for movies and my playstation 4 that's it

A few months when I was in the Army.

Never been without

I spent a year backpacking. No tv

I haven't watched TV on a TV in like a decade. I watch streaming shows and movies though from time to time.
