There's far too much crap on telly for me to buy more of it and I cant justify spending my pension on 1 or 2 programs I might like.

I quite enjoy Moto3, Moto2, MotoGP, the Isle of Man, Superbikes, the drag racing, the Paris-Dakar etc etc.

We have it to watch stuff we enjoy as an alternative to the free to view channels.

I have netflix and stan. It's still way cheaper than foxtel but... no sport :(

If I could afford payTV I'd have it for sure.

No TV for me. Plenty to watch on the net. Even without the net there would be plenty to do instead. Have lived without any of it before and life was great that way. Nowadays I would miss it though - for the great info here and getting parts for the 14 :onya:

Stop watching television ~5 years ago - YouTube channels on Android TV for me.

When I first moved to France, we had bought a wreck of a house so we had no TV for a year.

didn't miss it. Now we have Sky, its crap and not worth watching. (no sports package, when I "worked" in the UK, it was in Sports & Leisure Management so when I retired NO MORE SPORT. (except Rugby Union, well, I a Welsh!)
