Bought a tv for the first time in 25 years a year ago.
Found that I use it like a movie screen, not a tv. Have Netflix, and occaionaly an amazon show, and use DVDs that I borrow. (I ony watch things one time) Although there is the ability to watch a few cable local channels and pbs, I have no interest. I watch what I want, on my time without commercials. I get my news from a weather site on the net. I am almost completely unteathered. My TW Internet is my only cost besides Netflix.
Have become a pretty fussy consumer. The show/film has to be interesting, and compelling to sit down and spend time with it.
That’s why people don’t consider it TV when using Netflix et al. “TV” is colloquial for “a limited number of channels providing scheduled content filled with ads”. Most who say “I don’t have TV” mean they exclusively use Netflix/DVDs/Amazon/Redbox/iTunes or other on-demand ad-free content.
