For me, the answer is divided in two ways.

For Sports, Internet is not my preferred medium. The reason for my opinion is, on Internet we can get involved with Sports but for many users the involvement is rather static and without moving media(videos etc). Because in India(and for me also), many people do not possess the transfer speeds nor the download limit to enjoy videos on the go. It takes significant amount of time to buffer videos, and generally therefore people prefer not to watch videos and just read. While on T.V. with the foray of many news channels, almost all through the day one can watch sport updates, videos and other news related to sports and it does not involve much of reading. And with on-demand TV, we can watch matches and highlights whenever possible. For High bandwidth users, Internet is a world with infinite dimensions to choose from.

For Entertainment, I prefer Internet over Television, but Internet wins by a infinitesimal margin, simply because on Internet I am a king in my own kingdom, I can do whatever, customize, talk, share, involve and interact with anyone at anytime and anyway. In Internet, I can connect with people, if I do not want to connect with certain somebody then I can ignore then easily. No Frills, no limits. TV also has many choices, but we are limited to watch whatever channels show us and we can do nothing much than change a channel if we don’t like one. So, I choose Internet in the Entertainment category over Television.

Live TV on internet would be my choice any given day. I would like to point out some of the reasons :
1) With Internet TV, you don’t have to pay any monthly subscription fee. No recurring charges, ever! With just a one-time and small setup fee, you can enjoy stations for months and months and years.
2)There are close to 4,000 channels broadcasted from over 70 plus countries worldwide! With Internet TV, you have a wide selection of channels to choose from, news, movies, education, religion, kid’s channels, shopping, sports, music. Anden, since it’s coming from 70 plus countries worldwide, you can really get a better understanding of other cultures, and what’s happing around the world. You get to see local, regional, and national broadcasts from different countries so you become more informed.
3)Thinking of portability.By just installing the software on your laptop,you can bring your favorite soap, talk show, news, or any live TV broadcast for that matter, wherever you go! In addition to that, you can easily switch to e-mailing or Internet searches during commercial breaks. How’s that for flexibility?
4)How many times have you seen a wicket fall or a goal scored and the channel immediately cuts the coverage and starts showing ads.Its so annoying. With Internet TV that is not the case.
5) There is also the wonderful option to watch your favourite program again and again which is not the case with the Television
(unless you have digital TV which is a costly option)

The only problem you can have with internet TV is the bandwidth. Streaming takes hell lot of time unless you have a business connection. Leaving this aspect I will definitely prefer Internet over TV.

yes internet is prefferd medium over telivision

coz

we can do multitasking through internet which is impossible on telivision.

at one tym v r chating and on the same tym v can see whts happenin on the other part of the world

we can share over views over differnt topics .

telivision gives us only specific news but through internet we can get detailed news .

newspapers can be accessed through internet

if we hav missed any match ve can only see the headlines on telivision but on internet we can get the detailed score.

internet can be accesed anywhere through mobile so we can get in touch wd the other parts of the world if we r in remote area.

teher are many advantages of internet over telivision for entertainment.

we can watch online movies ,listen latest songs.

I use both. It depends where I am. In office, Internet is better. At home, TV is better. The best is to watch match on TV at home with laptop open so that if you need any info you can get it from Internet.

I like TV. Matches on Internet are delayed and also quality of streaming is nowhere closer to broadcast quality of TV.
By the way I really wish to have all T20 worldcup matches on Internet as well so I can catch up with them from my office!
