This summer I bought my first TV ever since I live on my own – after about 20 years of not having one. I haven’t missed TV and still don’t (just wanted a bigger screen for movies played from the PC and to relax on the couch in the evening). > That way I can skip through all the adverts, which I loathe [1]. Who doesn’t? With my little antenna, I get all the public stations with good quality and no ads, but I don’t care for the encrypted private, ad-financed channels for which I need to pay a yearly fee these days (on top of the mandatory public TV “tax”). > Freesat in the UK allows recording of radio series as well, which Sky > cannot do, so it's easy to capture late-night series and listen to them at > my convenience.

To have a conneciton to the original topic: I still have lots of movies and series on the NAS which I haven’t even started to watch. > 1. Mind you, UK TV adverts are nowhere near as gross as the screeching > horrors I was subjected to in Minneapolis 30 years ago. I can only imagine. -- Grüße | Greetings | Salut | Qapla’ Please do not share anything from, with or about me on any social network. Bees aren’t at all hard working, they just can’t fly any slower.
