I ditched my TV and cable provider well over 10 years ago...kept the TV for my Playstation2 and watching DVD's.

Not watching TV gave me back several hours a day for more useful things, especially playing music.

My PC/Internet provides enough entertainment and information for me.

I'm also a fan of Audio Books and have "read" many terrific books I never had the patience to actually read. Burned them to CDs for long drives in the car, and it sure made road trips a lot more palatable.

Not having a TV doesn't work for everybody, but it sure works for me.
