This summer I bought my first TV ever since I live on my own – after about |
14 |
20 years of not having one. I haven’t missed TV and still don’t (just wanted |
15 |
a bigger screen for movies played from the PC and to relax on the couch in |
16 |
the evening). |

Who doesn’t? With my little antenna, I get all the public stations with good |
21 |
quality and no ads, but I don’t care for the encrypted private, ad-financed |
22 |
channels for which I need to pay a yearly fee these days (on top of the |
23 |
mandatory public TV “tax”). |

Ooof, I listen to podcasts and can barely keep up, time-wise. To have a |
31 |
conneciton to the original topic: I still have lots of movies and series on |
32 |
the NAS which I haven’t even started to watch. |
