A day off college or work or whatever, for whatever reason. You peel yourself out of bed at 10am and turn on the TV. You have no internet, no *streaming services or DVDs/videos etc.
What are you going to watch on the TV for the next 5 hours?
*Streaming services include subscription services like Netflix, Hulu etc. Home servers like Jellyfish, Plex etc., Satellite pay-to-watch movies or TV e.g. sky movie box office.

Nothing, I'm going fishing instead.

That would mean subjecting myself to normal broadcast television with commercials. I'd rather perform home dentistry on myself.
I'll go touch some grass instead. It's only 5 hours, it's not going to kill anyone to be away from a screen for half a day.

Same here. I stopped watching TV because it has everything that I hate: ads and shitty content that I do not control.

I don't have a TV.
Also my streaming service runs on a server in my living room, so it doesn't need internet as long as I'm home.

I do have a telly, but it's not hooked up to any aerial or anything; it's purely used for streaming or DVDs.
I haven't watched straight up broadcast TV in literally years. Maybe 2016?

But that wasn't the question...
I was trying to find out what was on TV and what station at that time, that anyone would consider worth watching..

Break out some books, or if it is 15C or higher, I'd go outside for walkies.
Had my full answer before I read the body which started with - Fullscreen my offline media, close my eyes and click a random folder, then watch it

Not when you consider I walk to work everyday and several of them were -30C, 15C is downright balmy shorts weather, but I'm Canadian so I am a little crazy

Damn. I miss having the cold tolerance of being from Seattle. I used to walk miles in the rain with no jacket. Then I spent a few years in California for university and my constitution adapted to that permanently for some fucking reason - now I live in the UK and everyone's all smirking when I need a big coat. Goddamnit, I'm shaking like a shitting dog and it's not even 0C!

I'm reading a book called Flowers over the Inferno by Ilaria Tuti. Don't have a TV, I only use streaming.
