Get rid of it
Best keep it, just in case
I don't have a TV and I don't miss it at all
I don't have a TV, but I do miss it sometimes
I would love to get rid of it, but the wife would kill me!
I do have a TV and wouldn't be without one

Get rid of it.
It seems to be a choice of endless rubbish these days. My family watch it, but there's little to interest me. I've thought of disposing of the TV and my phone landline many times. I have no great use for either.
A friend of mine got rid of his TV a few years ago and is endlessly harrassed by the TV licencing people. They just will not believe he hasn't got one. Mind you he just tells them to F*** Off when they visit.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

I never watch the 'news' on TV, I really don't like the modern media - I pick and choose the news I want to read on my tablet BBC News app
As for reality TV shows

Get rid of it. The only stuff worth watching is on BBC4, and almost all of those programmes end up on the iPlayer.

I just get a letter every couple of years asking if I still haven't got a TV. I just go on to their website and tick the relevant box and they go away again.

If I had my way, then there wouldn't be a TV in my house, but the wifey likes it. Be honest, it's all bloody crap.

You can get all of that on Radio 4 in a much more engaging format.
