as opposed to just occasionally or rarely watching cable?
“Cable television” refers specifically to a system for delivering television programming to consumers via radio frequency signals transmitted through coaxial cables or, more recently, fiber-optic cables. It is a form of subscription-based television service that requires the installation of cables and equipment to receive the programming. Cable TV providers receive programming from various sources, including local broadcast stations, national cable networks, and satellite providers. The programming is then transmitted through a network of cables to individual households that subscribe to the service. A cable box or set-top box is typically required to decode the signals and provide access to the channels.
Cable TV offers a wide variety of programming, including local and national broadcast channels, cable-only channels (like HBO, ESPN, CNN), premium movie channels, pay-per-view options, and on-demand content. (Your parents might pay for it) Many cable providers also offer bundled services that include internet and phone services along with TV.

In my country Romania we have channels like Pro TV, Antena 1, Kanal D, Prima TV for entertainment and TVR channels for public broadcasting. I used to watch some of the music channels but the music in my country is no longer, uhhhhhhhh let's just say, for me. Not really my type anymore.

i did it recently to watch the season 35 finale of the simpsons. for a modern simpsons episode, it was decent enough.

Only in restaurants or sometimes.

Do over the air networks count? If so, then when I go to my grandma's house I watch TV. However, I don't think it's specifically cable tv so..

Yep, I still do. I also use Pluto TV, DVD and other stuff like that. I like cable, it gives that feeling of watching something live and in your mind it's happening right now as your watching it. And it's satisfying to me.

The only time I really use it is to see the news. Pretty much everything I watch these days has either ended and is no longer airing on TV, or is exclusively airing on streaming services

I prefer watching physical media than cable. Cable is fine but imagine the pain of missing your favorite program.

I don’t watch that much TV and when I do it’s not live. Only at restaurants or if my grandparents have the news on

i basically watch almost 0 cable, i only do if AFV is on. (AFV is America's Funniest Home Videos for the ppl not in the US)

I will watch Jeopardy every once in a while, but I don’t really watch much streaming either. Usually I just play video games or watch YouTube instead.
