Anyone else not got a Telly?
Sort of random question I guess. At the moment I haven't and can't say I've missed it that much to be honest.
I had cable TV but since the last MOTO GP race last season, I think I had only switched it on ooh..maybe five times.Two weeks ago I thought "no point..."and terminated my cable service and also gave my telly away   Am I just weird or what? - don't answer that now  Ben

I don't have a telly, just a tuner card in my PC.

Re: Anyone else not got a Telly?
Does it make you feel socially superior? Does it?

Re: Anyone else not got a Telly?
We only use the telly to play xbox and watch DVD's really, but I have to buy a licence because we do watch top gear each week.
I got rid of the TV and video completely a few years back as a new year resolution, didn't get another for over a year, never really warmed to it since, and certainly have never watched itv for years, just bbc. |

Re: Anyone else not got a Telly?
When we have power cuts I go nuts with boredom. I just end up going for a blast on the bike or in the car, at least there is music in the car
Last time we had one I was on the laptop until the battery ran out then went out in the car What do you do when you are in the house? |

lets see; cooking, cleaning, laundry, phone people up, repair things, write reports, write training documents and other work I ought to be paid for... TV would be a distraction, but often have a cd or the wireless on. |

Re: Anyone else not got a Telly?
Yes we have a telly but daughter pretty well has a monopoly on it for kids' programmes. I hate all those rubbish soaps. Occasionally watch ClassicFM TV
 but that's about it.I deffo feel socially superior
