    Do you have a TV in your home?

    That is a large screen on a shelf, table or wall for watching videos and movies not a computer monitor.

    (A screen with a keyboard in front of it that you sit at is not a "TV")

      @futurebird Yes, for the cat to watch. We pay for Youtube premium solely so the cat can watch videos without ads. She hates ads.

          @Extelec @futurebird It's the interruption she doesn't like. She's beginning to tolerate scene cuts, but only if they're infrequent. She stops watching if the scene changes too much. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't be encouraging it, she seems to only watch when she's tired and wants to sleep so doesn't want too much excitement.

            @futurebird having recently moved in with new housemates, I now live in a house with two huge (well, huge by the standards of those of us who grew up before cheap large flatscreens) screens that were clearly intended to be TVs, but they seem to get only about 1-2 hours of on time a day, and 80% of that is console videogames, judging from the sound (I'm not usually in the same room.) And they both have multiple attached keyboards, but said keyboards don't get much use.

              @futurebird TVs today are spyware that are probably designed to fail with time. I don’t trust them to work at all without internet connection to spy on me and serve ads

                @Kierkegaanks @futurebird That's why I bought a digital signage display rather than a TV. It's just a dumb monitor with HDMI in.

                    Since many people seem curious about this distinct question:

                    If you have a TV is it set up to watch broadcast media?

                    That is, can you watch cable TV or local channels?

                      We have a normal TV but no internet access, only a HDMI cable to the Kodi. We stream the news at 7 or 8 pm most evenings.

                        @econads @Kierkegaanks @futurebird Apparently some TVs now show an obnoxious overlay over any input if they don't have internet access.

                            @sewblue @futurebird Probably because the poll uses check boxes, which allow multiple choices, instead of radio buttons, which allow only one answer. Begs the question as to how you might come to pick more than one, but we are talking about people (shakes head mournfully) here.

                              Every time I write a poll on here I do my best to make options comprehensive and considerate enough that no one will complain that I didn’t make an option for them. Since we have only four options allowed and since I’m not perfect I always fail.

                                  She likes fixed camera footage of a landscape with suspicious rustling leaves. Or just looking at herself in old videos.
