   	I watch broadcast news to see what is being told to the other proles.   
      
   	I happen to hate reality TV and agree that it is not worth watching but   
   there are some interesting shows on PBS and amusing shows on broadcast.   
   But I like to watch stuff I missed when I was working too hard to watch   
   TV.   
   I love Raymond Burr as Perry Mason, Belzer as Munch in Homicide Life On   
   The Streets, I watched the Closer series, and still turn to Major Crimes   
   for   
   the story of Rusty Beck and the detectives of the Major Crimes Squad,   
   followed   
   by Rizzoli and Isles.  I would watch NYPD Blue all over again.   
      
   	For none of those is 4 K essential but I watch them on my Hannspree   
   1080x1920.

   	Those streaming services are out of my reach.  I prefer to have a good   
   computer and unlimited download for my Linux .iso files.

   	I watch from about 6 feet away and used to notice the pixels but with   
   my present   
   quality of vision I cannot say that I do.  This is written on a 17 inch   
   screen on my   
   laptop from about 24 inches.

     	One can only imagine as the difference between analogue Cathode   
   Ray Tube TV and digital flat screens is so pronounced.   I find it   
   increasing difficult to   
   read online Manga on it, still I persist.
