Ask HN: Does anyone here watch offline TV anymore?

If cable weren't already included in my HOA payment, I wouldn't subscribe. I never watch live TV. I usually watch shows on Hulu or download a torrent of the episode with the commercials removed. Since I'm in California, I can usually watch the show at the same time it comes on live because someone on the east coast has already encoded and uploaded it during the 3 hour time difference.

I've never had cable. Well, honestly, I've never paid for it. I've had roomies who just had to have it, but I never wanted it or had a TV until a few years ago. In the past couple years I've been watching TV series like Battlestar Galactica on DVD, but otherwise my TV is for watching movies.

Yes for live sports. Streaming quality is too crap online generally for me.

Apart from that, no. I have a big screen LCD TV in my room, and it acts as a media centre monitor for my XBMC setup. It isn't hooked up to anything other than my PC.
