When I was in Hong Kong, our home got cable tv. Recently, Hong Kong cable stopped its cable tv service. In the past, cable tv offered a lot of choices for tv channels, such as BBC, CNN, and discovery channel. Nowadays, we got YouTube and Netflix.
I got a lot of things to watch. Mainly, my friends got a paid tv subscription because of their sports channel. I think paid tv service started to fade out. Even I did not watch local tv channels for years. Of course, I still watch local tv, but I watch them via their app. I can choose to watch the program when I have time.
