....tough choice but if you had to make the choice between the two? It'd be music as the winner for me every time. My actually telly watching hours seem to get less every year which begs the question why do I pay for sky. Be hard to give up films though.

Music every time. The only things I would actually sit down and watch are motorsport and almost anything bike related.

TV, music is background most of the time, and you can get music in TV 😉 been some great stuff recently, proper drama that doesn't treat you like an idiot etc.

Music over TV if I had to choose.

I too wondered why I was paying for SKY but hardly watching it. Packed it in last autumn and haven’t missed it really. The £35 a month saving is nice.

I'd choose radio over TV any day. Not sure I'd choose music alone over the telly though.

Radio? thats different! I’d choose hot wax poured into my ears 8 hours a day over radio and the gimps that talk all over the music on that!

Music for me if I had to choose. Pretty much gave up regular telly but watch some stuff on Netflix and You Tube. I do read a lot though so get a fiction hit from that.

Can I choose TV but pitch a watch-on-demand MTV channel? No? OK, music then.

Music. I have a tv, quite a small one tucked in the corner, that gets switched on for a couple of hours a week. I usually switch it on, can't see anything of interest, switch it off again.

Music personally, but I now have to consider my g/f who isn’t as big a music lover as me, and her tastes are a lot narrower, although I’m trying my best there. I do try to keep the tv programming to more interesting history, nature or geographic, with some drama. Soaps are absolutely verboten, tho’! ☠️

TV, even though the only thing I watch on it is sport.

Music is alright, but I don't get the fuzzy feeling that others seem to with it.

Each has a part in my life, I love music but you’ll learn more from TV.

Why choose ?

Each has its place in life.

Music for emotion.

TV for learning.

TV for me, only time I really listen to music is getting ready in the morning and when in the car

To quote John Miles .." Music was my first love" etc...

If I absolutely had to choose then it would be music ..but my choice of music ..as Dez has said radio is a No-No ..utter drivel !

I love my sport though on tv ..and drama , history channel , docu's..

Goddammit man ..why are you making me choose !

The better your hifi the easier it is to consider just listening to music rather than watching the TV.

music every time.

Most days the TV doesn't get switched on anyway, i watch about one film a week and that's it. There is never a day when i don't listen to music.

Can’t even begin to compare the two, they’re so different. TV for learning/entertaining/enriching, music is a colourful mobile for when you need to retreat from the real world. Though if I [i]had[/i] to choose it’d be telly. Both crap compared to getting out on the bike. 🙂

Very true Zilog ..but sometimes on a solo ride I will combine two out of the three ...

I actively dislike music, There is no time where I don't  prefer silence.

This has happened in the last 5 years or so, I used to like it, but now i get really angry when it creeps onto Radio 4.

Music, easy peasy - there's very little on telly I couldn't live without, whereas both music and radio are the acest.

Depends, could news and live sport be delivered in song?

TV for learning/entertaining/enriching, music is a colourful mobile for when you need to retreat from the real world.

There's a case to be made that either can do either. For me, music is where I turn first when I want to be entertained and enriched, and when MrsDoris wants some colourful guff to help her retreat from the real world she heads straight for Netflix.

But I haven't found that many good documentaries hidden in music yet!

Don't listen to music so I'll keep the TV as I use that as my monitor for my PC.
