Default Re: Anyone else not got a Telly?

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

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 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.
