Re: Life without cable or satellite TV?
the best thing I did in the last 6 months of my life was sell my flat-screen TV to a craigslist drug dealer.
tv is a great time waster. I'd rather go watch a game at a local bar than sit at home and I've been sitting much less at home since I sold my tv obv...also reading lots more books which = good and listening to much more music which I stopped doing for a while.

Re: Life without cable or satellite TV?
I haven't owned a TV since college, though my roomates usually have one in the living room. (couple of years) As such, I hardly ever watch TV. Overall, I think it's a positive change, but not that big of a change: I still download stuff I want to watch (mostly movies and UFC stuff). And in terms of time savings, I think more than anything, the internet replaced the time I spent in front of the tube.

Re: Life without cable or satellite TV?
i haven't had cable in eight years (since i started college) save a three-month stretch when a roommate hooked it up. i miss watching sports, but i can't watch the sox here anyway cause you can't get NESN in NYC. i settle for MLB.tv which sucks gigantic [censored] balls but other than that i don't miss much.
i was thinking about getting it again just to watch some stuff on comedy central and espn, but it's such a bad value that i find it pretty easy to postpone.

Can anyone here do the same thing with regards to a computer? [/ QUOTE ] A better question might be if anyone here with broadband internet access could go back to dial-up.
