I mainly watch tv on my iPad Pro. My eyesight is poor atm (cataract), so I can have the iPad nice and close.

If i had loads of disposable income i'd pay for watching TV, but the value imo is just so poor, so i don't bother. TV or monitor for the usual streaming stuff here. Shame that the BBC are dragging other channels down with them.

Barely any TV watch time now. Probably less than half an hour a week.

Rarely even sit in the living room, TV never gets turned on.
Monitors/laptop/phone for me. As above, I hate adverts.

Did you know you can watch TV without ever seeing adverts?

Why does watching on a smaller screen mean you avoid adverts? I'm thoroughly confused by some posts in this thread :confused:

I haven't watched broadcast TV in close to a decade but I watch virtually everything on a TV - only exception is watching things on tablet before I go to bed.

I'd never choose to sit and watch a tablet/phone or even something on my monitor if the TV is free downstairs and I can be in comfort.

or watch recorded content.
On our VU+ remote I have a 4 minute FF button programmed which is the usual adverts time, if they end up a bit longer I then have a 15 sec FF button.

Yes 4K Sony OLED and 5.1 via Panasonic Bluray with built in decoder.

I's like owning a mini cinema that child me could only have dreamed about. It makes me happy every time I settle down to watch something.

No and I'm not counting a split second until we get to the next section.
Usually they are 4 minutes and the 4 minute button does it 99% of the time.
