Re: For Me....

TV isn't so bad as much as limiting the viewing of it. Growing up, I never really liked sitting there, glued to stupid programming (sitcoms are mindless).

But I do enjoy the educational channels (NatGeo HD, SciHD, HistoryChannel HD...). I can't justify +$30/mth for limited programming (and viewing) when I enjoy Netflix better.

And with Spring/Summertime coming, I'll watch even less.

Now, if someone had a pay-as-you-watch model that was effectively cheap...Say $10/mth... I'm in!

Thinking couch potatoes? (Granted, I'm in that segment so I probably shouldn't talk. )
