In my family it has been worth it, since we have a high turnover most weeks.

We love netflix because we can stream a lot of old movies and British tv.......other than that its on for nothing but background noise, except during Indy car and NFL

I don’t watch much TV unless it’s something on History or Discovery. I DVR Glenn Beck and watch it while I’m working out.

Sometimes I feel like a hermit when I hear people at work or my friends talk about a TV show and I don’t have a clue what they’re talking about.

I remember I was looked at like I was a space alien when I didn’t know what Grey’s Anatomy was.

I watch almost no network TV at all. The only time I have ABC on is in the morning when I’m getting ready for work and hear it in the background and that’s because we only have 13 channels on my TV in the bedroom.

Nice job. That’s a very solid list. A Keeper.

We lost TV...mostly...on June 12th. We do have a TV that has a built-in digital converter, but the only signal we get is TBN. You think I’m going to watch that?? We have Netflix as well.
