… enjoying more than 125 million hours of TV shows and movies per day, including original series, documentaries and feature films.

NOTES:
(qepHom 2017): I think I'd use {much} for show (or even movie) rather than {ghe'naQ} (unless, of course, it really is an opera). I think {HaSta much} (or even {HaSta jIH much}) is fine for TV show.
(De'vID < MO, 2/25/2018): In answer to how to express "media", "video (visual recording)", and "audio (sound clip)": "Maltz didn’t think that much was quite right for media, but he also wasn’t sure what was included in media – the phenomena of video/audio/etc. or a physical (or digital) video or audio tape or file. What about print? That is, does media mean the press (as in 'freedom of the press')? Does it include 'newspaper/magazine'?
CULTURE:
(KGT 72): Traditional Klingon music is generally performed only by those who have had a great deal of training. The study of this type of music, whether composition or performance, is considered a discipline not unlike a martial art.
