Cable is not worth it. Then again, they are making streaming as bad or worse than cable so there is that... "ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR".

From the post:

>An estimated 46 per cent (7.35 million) of Canadian households didn’t have a TV subscription with a cable, satellite, or telecom-based provider in 2024, according to a new report from Convergence Research. In its latest annual “Couch Potato” report on the streaming market, the firm notes that this was a four per cent increase from 2023 and that the number is expected to continue to rise to 54 per cent by 2027. Convergence notes that this marks a greater shift towards subscription video on demand services (SVOD) like Netflix and Disney+. To that point, the firm found that Canadian streaming subscription revenue grew 15 per cent year-over-year to $4.2 billion in 2024. At the same time, linear TV subscription revenue dropped five per cent to around $6.5 billion.

I have a TV, it was last turned on last January but turns out the LEDs burnt out on the edges so it looks like I have a second woodstove. It's for decorative purposes at this time until I install some shelves or something.

Personally, I subscribe to nothing. I bought an antenna for my TV (~30 channels), sites like bitchute & utoob give me all the visual entertainment I could be bothered with. There are... Other... methods to watch things as well.
