We could and DH wants to. But I like it to watch DVDs and DS has a couple of favourite shows. If there were more quality shows on I would probably watch it more but it is so full of rubbish at the moment. If I am home alone at night I will have it on for company. We definitely minimise ads though. We usually use ABC and SBS (which now has some ads grrr) but if we are on one of the others we use our mute button. We love radio though especially radio national and ABC classical. But I avoid the others because I can't stand the marketing and the hosts drivelling on trying to be clever yet stupid at the same time.
