    do you agree
    because not all online cinemas can be watched on TV
    movies are free on the tablet

    Nothing is free. You're either paying fore a streaming service, you got a subscription with the tablet (in which case the price was included in what you paid) or you're watching with ads, in which case you are being paid with movies to watch ads.

    But it is more cost effective to get a tablet instead of a TV, since you can watch TV on a tablet, but you can't do any of the other things a tablet does on a TV without adding other devices.

    I guess it depends on whether you might have people in real life you'd want to sit and watch the movie with.

    If there are other humans, at TV is probably more practical.

    Ah, so you're stealing them. The problem with that is if the people making the movies don't get paid for it, then they might stop making them.

    I'm not judging, btw, all the music I listen to is converted mp3s from youtube ...but I also buy the records from the bands I like and hang em on my wall as wall art so I can support the musicians. The records are all still in their original plastic. I don't even own a record player. But I want them to keep making more music. And they won't do that if they don't get paid to.

    What happens if your neighbor kicks you off their wifi and you have to start paying for Internet? Can you invite 6 friends over to watch a movie or the super bowl on your tablet? Can you stick a clothes hanger into the back and pick up 30 free high def channels out of thin air on your tablet?

    No doubt a tablet is better than a TV as an entertainment device, if you live alone and have no friends and somehow have reliable access to broadband Internet for free. And, it does all kinds of stuff a TV doesn't. But it's not cheaper.

    depends on the circumstances, if one is living in a van, a tablet would be much better - other situations like having a family tv might be better

    or even both

    I have! I bought a brand new TCL 55" Roku TV from walmart earlier this year for $140 (was a discontinued model). I plug in the rabbit ears, scan for channels, and (in my area) get 46 OTA hi def channels, no internet necessary.

    So, you don’t like earning a salary for your work, or do you believe only you deserve a salary for your work?

    I see this attitude a lot with online games. People are proud that they don’t spend cash on games and then bitch nonstop about in game advertising.

    “It’s online, so nobody did any actual work.”
