Little Captain is my local too! Sunday, James, best coffee in Melbourne.I very, very rlreay watch live television. This is why:1. Whenever I want to watch television, it's because I want to watch something specific. I'm a busy person; I will not organise my life around a pre-recorded show that's screened at an arbitrary time (not to mention late or bumped).2. Most of what I watch is foreign. If I wait (or hope) for a local screening, the internet will spoil it for me first. That is not an acceptable option in 2011.3. Ads are far too cynical, anachronistic and invasive. If I'm in the room – my room, my space – when an ad is on, the sound goes off. Frankly I'm surprised most people don't do that.Nearly all my television viewing happens on a proper widescreen television, with content via ABC iView or a WD TV Live media player. We have an Apple TV but, considering I'm unable to buy or rent what I want to watch, it's never been used for television shows. Occasionally I watch content on my ipad, streamed from the laptop in the other room.We have never had a subscription service, and we don't have a recording device because we've not needed one since 2008.
