    Meh, I don’t think cable will make a comeback, either. My roommate is a boomer and she still watches cable TV, and I can’t even stand to be in the room when it’s on.

    I’d just watch nothing if streaming platforms were taken away. I’ll never go back to cable format.

      I’m not a boomer. I’m only 36 and I have YouTube Tv which is just like cable.

      I’ve met other people recently who switched to cable from streaming too. DVD’s are also making a comeback.

      Maybe you can’t stand it but some of us love it. Feels like its still 2004 at my house.

        You love the constant ad breaks and lack of ability to watch what you want when you want?

            Dvr is also a slave to cable schedule. You have to remember to record things, etc. Streaming is superior in that reguard.

              No? I set a show to record and its there forever.

              edited to add: unless you don’t know what you like? I mean, I like something, I record it. Then I can watch it. Super easy. no scrolling.
