Just the hours we are home: watch the news in late afternoon and maybe later in evening.

I rarely watch TV which is why I use an indoor attenna that brings in about 15 channels.

I prefer to plan my viewing schedule out ahead of time. I use Amazon Firestick for on-demand shows.

I tape the shows I like, then watch them later on. Every once in a while I watch a broadcast live, but I usually go to bed early. I have Insomnia & have to take my nighttime meds early.

I see no reason to ever watch a show when it is broadcasted as long as I have the power to watch it on my terms.

I really have trouble with background noise. Including music. If I try to play music, it doesn't take long for me to get agitated and turn it off.

As a retired teacher, I spent most of my work life getting things done with plenty of noisy activity all around. You have to focus!
