With the right channels I regularly discover amazing movies, series and documentaries that I’d probably never choose to watch if I had access to them on a streaming platform (which I don’t).

The surprise effect is way better and I just think that when used wisely, TV can deliver much more than streaming.

I’m aware of platforms like FilmIn that offer non-commercial content but I still like the channels to suggest me some tmovies to watch.

    My kids will never know the experience of getting up at 6:00 AM every Saturday to watch Saturday morning cartoons. I also discovered some of my favorite movies while randomly watching late night movies when I couldn’t sleep. But I do not miss commercials one bit.

      The problem is that it will only recommend content based on my previous watch history. It will not recommend me new topics I have never heard or shown interest about and surprise me with something new that might also be interesting or important.

    maybe. but piracy is better than either 🏴‍☠️ (even if just because it doesn’t have ads, and shows and movies don’t disappear suddenly)
