i don't get how people can watch it due to the terrible quality and the 10 minutes of commercials attached to a 20 minute episode.
please give me insight into your masochism.

Only sports and news as those are the only things where you want it to be live.
Even news I will normally just get online unless I want to hear speakers talk about it.

No, not really. Not because I don't like TV but because I like TV too much to think that what's on these days could be considered TV.

Terrible quality?

Last I checked, tv shows like Homeland, Game of Thrones, Sparticus, etc, etc are supposedly "amazing".

You know, when I turned 30 there was an 18 year old whose family I had been friends with since I was a kid. I used to lift weights with this guy and his brother. When I turned 30 he kept saying how I was old man, and he would never be old. He also lives in the Seattle area now. He's over 30 now and I tease him about it every time I see him. 30 doesn't seem so old now. If you're lucky you will live to be 55. I hope you remember back.

I think the only things I watch on any regular stations anymore, even cable stations, are just news channels and the occasional live sports game. Anything else is Netflix or Hulu or a DVD.

Have not had regular cable service since about 2007. Signed up a couple of times after a move for the starter rate, but cancelled within a month or two each time.

This. But you can get hi-def to analog converters if on cable.

But the OP was very confusing because you still get the commercials with cable. Drives me batty on the rare occasion I watch a channel with commercials.

Nope. Between Netflix and Amazon Prime I've got more content than I care to watch. I spend 20x more time reading RSS stuff and playing games than I do watching TV shows or movies.
