Once again, humans lived fine without television before the 20th century so why can they not now? Humans in LEDC's continue to live without television in places such as Africa and Asia. It is laughable that you asked what would they be doing throughout the day without 'entertainment', maybe they should be working in that time to try earn more money.

Clothes are a necessity as it is against the law to be naked, but excessive amounts of clothes are luxury.
They actually are for some people who depend on them for getting around and who otherwise be confined to their homes. And please don't tell me they can utilise public transport.

In regards to the comment "Once again, humans lived fine without television before the 20th century so why can they not now?

I don't actually think it was asked what would people do for entertainment "throughout the day" but actually "on a daily basis". People on low incomes can work during the day and watch tv in the evening, or vice versa. I would not begrudge anyone for having a standard tv. Maybe they could work day and night though to accommodate such a luxury though...
