I don't own a TV and haven't for over a decade. In fact for most of my life I haven't owned a TV. I have Netflix. I have Amazon Prime Videos. I have Youtube. When would I ever had time to watch TV? 
All but one of my neighbors does own TV and we're in a rural area with no cable network available so that means either DISH or Direct. Most of my neighbors are paying considerably more for their satellite TV than I am for my internet and Netflix and Prime combined. And most make a lot less in Social Security than I do. Some make a lot less than half what I make and still have satellite TV. And a couple of them rent their TV sets at outrageous prices.
A lot of people don't realize just how expensive poverty can be.

You must not have a rent payment or pay very little. Ours is $600 a month for a tiny apartment. Electric runs $100 to $150. Internet went up and is now $80 they only have the one speed here so no other plan. Our cheapest bill is car insurance which is $36 thanks to hubby being a Vet. Add a $50 cell phone on that and then you have your living expenses such as gas, food, home goods....etc.
