A mysterious power makes you destroy forever either your TV or your Computer (with Internet). Which one do you keep and why?

Since there is nothing but rubbish on TV now,the choice is easy!

I've done decades of tv, major part of my life, not anymore. Cable company did me a favor when they screwed up my billing and tv was lost with cable. I was pissed but in retrospect, they made my decision and now too I have at least $60/mo in my pocket not the cable company. And what I want and need to hear is from the net and my radio......

cable co still hounds me to go back to them, cold day in hell for that one.

It's a ridiculous question - you can get TV on the Internet.

You can also buy a $20.00 antenna and get local stations and about 20 more.

I also found this a ridiculous question. WHO would choose TV over Internet?:rolleyes::confused: A better comparison would be Burger King or McDonald's....

Neither of them, Last Year I switch my Spectrum Cable Box for the Roku Streaming Stick inwhich I continue to to pay Cable Bill monthly by watching the Spectrum App on Roku whenever anything good is on. I try to operate the Chromebook since February and it yet to proceed due to my occasional attempts to get stuff out of my old Computer with the USB stick.

I still love TV and channel surfing, yeah I'm Gen X lol I don't think it's such a silly question because there is a pleasure you get just from scanning the channels, that is lost when everything is streamed online... just as there is a pleasure browsing through titles at a video store that I miss today that you just don't get scanning Disney Plus ... I can't explain it.

BUT that being said, if I had to let one go, I guess the TV, since you essentially can do everything online that you can on TV... but I'd be grumpy for a while making the change
