I have cable TV because, monopolies being what they are, they don't let you have cable internet without it. I very rarely ever watch it though, and when I do its for cartoons or motorsport. Broadcast TV is so terrible I can't stand it. Its amazing people actually subject themselves to that shit.
I do watch TV shows though, usually either downloaded from the internet or from Netflix. I'm a big fan of several BBC shows (Top Gear, Doctor Who, etc). I try to like anime but the state of the industry is at its lowest point ever and I can't often find shows I like. For some reason, I like Lost. I've seen every episode of Lost pirated from Mininova. What's staggering is that people who watched Lost as it was broadcast not only had to sit shackled to the TV during a specific time period, but they had to sit through something like eleven hours of advertisements. f*ck that.
