You know, since my Sky digibox packed up a couple of weeks ago (I've got a new one being installed soon) I haven't watched any telly! Okay, so this week, I've been back at work and having to drag my sorry ass to bed once I've finished whatever work I've had to do, but even before that, we've not watched anything, and haven't really missed it.

Maybe I should just scrap it and just download the stuff I want to watch!

I'm in a similar position. My cat broke my tv. I could pseudo-fix it by rerouting the signal (rca instead of coaxial via the vcr, if you care to know) but I've not been motivated to go to the trouble. The biggest problem for me is that my schedule does not align with primetime tv schedules at all. I get home too late to catch anything regularly and, to be honest, there's just nothing on right now that I'm particularly excited about.

I pretty much just download what I want to watch or watch streamed tv online. I should probably just cancel the cable all together but I keep thinking that I'll eventually get a new tv or something and then I'll want to flip around when I'm home from work (though I'm sure I'd just end up putting on something I've downloaded or some West Wing anyway).

My cat broke my tv

Okay, well, I'll let that pass for now...

Thing is, I often think of cancelling my subscription, but then something will come along that I do want to watch and so I keep it. And it's a way of catching up with the movies I missed at the cinema. Although given the way my days appear to be shaping up right now, I can't see I'm going to have time to watch much!

Yes, my cat broke my tv. George, the cat in question, was sleeping on top of the entertainment unit that houses the tv (sounds fancy but really isn't) and must have had one hell of a dream because he flopped around so much that he fell off the back. On his way to the floor, he encountered the cable wire. Being that he is a sturdy 10lbs, the cable wire lost this battle and pulled out of the tv... taking the connection plug with it. Therefore, I can either a) find a sodering iron and re-attach it; b) re-route the signal in through the rca port instead of the coaxial plug (which would require breaking out my vcr); or c) download what I want to watch.


In ur house, brakin' ur teevee!

I certainly agree. Being in Rural Australia when my foxtel goes on the blink its DVD and what we have downloaded already. Good thing friends often bring stuff to me in return for geek assitance.

I think it also goes to show just how little "must see" TV there is about these days.

Free to air.......NOTHING! On Cable Discovery, Scifi, BBC, Comedy Chaenel...ahhh thats it and most is stuff I would buy on DVD if I could find it or if it was ever realeased. Scarily for those trying to make money all the stuff I like is on various Torrent progs so......Wonder if the animated West Wing will be on Sci fi or Comedy?
