      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.

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

      Free to air is heavily regulated in my country if it had a fraction of the fraudulent grifter ads Google would be shut down

      Ads in those are also regulated in civilised countries.

      Luckily all that is prosecutable by Ofcom here so it very rarely happens.
