My wife and I quit traditional television a long time ago.

Our television plays DVDs and Netflix mostly. No broadcast, no cable, no satellite.

Netflix is $8.99 a month. We'd have the internet anyways, both of us for our work, and no, we do not deduct as work expense because 90% of our home bandwidth is for fun, including my posts here DU.

I'm frequently astonished when people tell me how much they pay for television or when they complain about television commercials. I never see most television commercials and I never run out of things to watch on my television.
