I haven’t had a TV in my bedroom in over 20 years. I had an ex who always wanted it on all the time, even to sleep to, and it drove me crazy.

    I have one in my bedroom from my ex: she used to goto sleep listening to the news.

    It was never able to pick up broadcast tv and I got rid of cable years ago, but it has an ancient ChromeCast that works fine.

    … mildly infuriating: the other day I wanted to watch a movie on my tablet but accidentally hit to broadcast. The tv turned on for the first time in years, but you can’t turn it off that way, I have no idea where the remote is, and a software update years ago broke integration with my home automation. I was trying to sleep and there was no way to turn this thing off - I had to get up, move a dresser and unplug it. Annoying as heck

    I rarely use any tv anymore. Dont get me wrong, I haven’t improve my watching habits, but TVs are so inconvenient and everyone has multiple screens . At this point it’s just inertia: if I were starting over I wouldn’t have any TVs

        Yeah, but tracing my hands around the edges of the tv in the dark trying to find that power button just got my hand dusty, so I also had to go wash up
