I haven't for about a year now, everything I want to see, I see it online be it cricket or football. Our maid and my dad are the only ones who watch TV regularly but besides that everyone has completely shifted to laptops and mobiles.
 
The internet is too slow in Africa to watch online sport or online movies

Besides only about 20% of South Africans have access to the internet
 
Haven't watched TV in almost 5 years. All my favorite programs are available on Youtube.

Once in a while I give a glance at the TV because my son is watching Pokemon.
 
I have a huge TV, I don't think I would get any enjoyment out of watching anything on a laptop or a mobile. I know people do it but can't figure out for the life of me why.
 
Been a while. I had a TV subscription until last year and I realized that the only time we used it was when we wanted to watch GoT as soon as it aired on HBO or when a cricket match was on. The rest of the time the TV was only used for Netflix or Youtube. If I want to watch some siyaasi show I just watch it through Youtube.

So I got rid of the TV subscription and now the TV is only used for Netflix/Youtube or I can use Chromecast to cast my laptop screen onto the TV and watch matches through internet streaming.

Generally the streaming sites don't have the same quality as watching it through TV subscription, that is why I loved Cricket Gateway, for a nominal cost we got the entire PSL in HD that we casted on our TV and enjoyed ad-free supreme quality cricket. I'm hoping the CT is also on Cricket Gateway.
 
Use it occasionally to stream content or watch some really special movies.
 
I watch TV two to three hours a day. I dont enjoy watching cricket on laptop the same way as I do on TV.
 
I still watch TV. I kind of enjoy the element of surprise which is brought about just through flipping channels. I will probably not watch most movies again through netflix or online but if it is coming on tv on a channel i just might. TV is something I like to use to relax and the fact I don't have to worry about what to watch is relaxing in itself.
