    I can honestly say, apart from seeing it on on the background when visiting parents or similar, that I haven’t watched free to air TV in maybe 15 years. Been streaming or downloading all that time.

      I hardly watch it either. Just found it funny all the complaints above could be applied to what free to air tv has been doing for decades.

        Agree with you completely.

          Yet they still get around it through sound mixing. Any regulations against using jingles or having ads interrupt what you’re watching?
