Anyone else not got a Telly?

[northwind]

I'd watch it a lot more, if it wasn't for the fact that my TV's sort of behind me and to my right when I'm at my PC I like to have it on as a background, but not literally in the background

I've jsut got rid of my TV too - felt good to be honest.

































And then I replaced it with a 42" LCD toshiba - felt even better

Not had a tv for nearly 2 1/2 years now. Not really missed.

Currently watching the Rugby thanks to live streaming

Ive always read a lot of books anyway, have music on in the background and browsing t'internet keeps me amused most of the time.

I can pretty much download episodes of anything that I do actually watch so maybe a cost saver there... don't have to have a tv licence to watch dvd's on it do ya ?

got a telly but just cancelled SKy, been paying 40 odd quid for years and now we dont watch it enough to justify it, most of the stuff the missus watches is on terrestrial or freeview anyway, goes mid march, so lets hop i dont get withdrawal, getting to light nights soon anyway and we only seemed to watch it in the winter, paying for mivies and sport that i never watch, only ever watched british superbikes and theyre on bbc

I haven't had a TV for years, which still doesn't stop me from getting nasty letters from the TV licensing nazis.

I've got a home cinema system with projector which I use for watching DVDs and playing on the Wii.

Since I work for Sky, I see plenty of TV during the day, though it's mostly the customer channel or BBC1 with the sound off

Yup you do if it is capable of receiving a signal - our training TV here at work had to have its receiver disabled and a certificate sent to the licencing people to prove it couldnt...

I think they should start prosecuting everybody for driving vehicles capable of exceeding the speed limit, then...

I had that. They stopped after I relented and let the license inspector in to the house. I know people say you shouldnt but as he said, Id keep getting letters if I didnt prove it so... And he was right, since he left with the knowledge I have no TV Ive never had another letter from them since.
