My fishbone antenna and local VHF/UHF stations are positively offended at not being called the “traditional” TV. Now get off my lawn!!!

Any streaming service with multi episode shows.

I haven’t had cable/satellite TV in well over a decade, probably more. When I say I’m “watching TV,” rather than “watching videos” or “watching YouTube,” it means I’m watching something episodic, created by a major studio.

I would consider major centralized social networking platforms to be equivalent to television today as it holds captive the masses in much the same way, but with even finer grained control.

YouTube is my TV. I don’t pretty much watch any movies or tv-shows.

The word television is composed of two words, tele meaning far away, and vision, self explanatory. So anything that lets you see stuff that’s far way, it’s technically tv. Everything that’s streamed live would match that definition, even if it’s pre recorded, as it was on traditional tv. So I guess Twitch, YouTube streams are our modern tv. Netflix, Youtube, Disney+ and other recorded media that’s distributed trough internet would not, as blockbuster was not tv back then either.

tradtional tv is referred to as linear tv. streaming is referred to as over the top or ott.
