It's not so much as people will tell you at every single opportunity. It's more likely that the person has to explain it so often, since TV comes up in conversations all the time. Have you considered that?

E.g.,

  Tom: "Lost was really cool last night"
  Jerry: "Sorry Tom, didn't see it"
  Tom: "Why? You don't like it?"
  Jerry: "I don't have a TV"

Well... at least in my experience.
