I have to ask. How long have you not had a TV and how do you get along without one? Can you get enough news off the Internet? I admit we don’t watch much, almost none, of the MSM networks but we do watch programs on cable.

We just moved a couple of weeks ago, and are waiting to have the TV service installed. So technically, we do have a TV and will have service eventually, probably within a week.

Actually, I end up watching streaming video from Amazon and Netflix on my computer more than I watch TV, but DH likes his sports.

You can get all the news you need off the internet.

There are many Freepers who do not have cable or sat TV for various reasons or just have very basic service. You could start a vanity thread about it sometime when it’s slow. You’d get a lot of responses.

Regarding having no TV. I don’t have a TV, period. The last TV I watched was Sarah Palin’s acceptance speech at the 2008 Repub Convention.

Truthfully, I don’t miss TV a bit. I’m not a big sports fan.

There is so much garbage on TV. The “news” is worthless as is most of the programming. Reality TV? I’d rather handle my own reality.

MiD asked, “Can you get enough news off the Internet?” Yes you can. I get all my news from the Internet. Virtually every newspaper has a web site. So do the TV outlets. Then there’s blogs and of course, FREE REPUBLIC. In fact, there’s so much news in the Internet it’s sometimes hard to keep up. Plus, for much of the news, the Internet is the only place to be as the LSM doesn’t cover anything negative about nobama or the RATS.

And, much of what I’d watch if I had a TV is available for free from YouTube. I just watched the 60 Minutes interview of “Mark Owen.” Fascinating.
