Quoted:
The wife and I voluntarily got rid of TV (all hookups but not the box) about 2 years ago. It wasn't so financial but an experiment on how life would be without. (However, I calculate I probably have saved $1500 over the past 24 months on the digital service I once had - that's an AR with optics, bitch.)
I only receive CSPAN, sortof, by antenna. I do watch South Park on Southparkstudios.com.
I'm on a business trip this week and have a tube on at the moment. First time in a very long time.
I'm damn glad I stop spending money on this "service". It's all crap.
Dancing with the Stars? A cartoon segment that plays as a reality tv show? House?
Get rid of this shit. You get over the noise real fast. Just sharing the introspect after all this time.
My TV's have been dark for several years now - turn em on only when something important is happening, and that is much rarer than most think. In the past three months have had one (of several) TV's on a total of twice.
It really is all crap, and only when you step away from it for awhile do you realize just how idiotic TV is. I had a doc appt today, and in the waiting room they had HGTV blasting. Complete crap. Home re-do with people who don't know how to use power tools. All laughing. "Look at how inept we are" as the HGTV 'expert' grabs the Sawzall. Who watches this shit?
