The TV is in the basement and other than hockey finals, I have watched zero TV in the last three months. I have a MythBox and I record any of the "This Old House" and "New Yankee Workshop", so if there is a day where I have nothing to do, then I can watch a program. I have no desire to go watch a movie and I have not been the influence by negative news programs and ads. When I did watch the hockey finals, none of it was live and I skipped commercials. Rest of the family will watch maybe 2-3 hours a week, nothing live again. We have one TV and basic cable, as it is the same cost to get our Internet feed with or without the cable.
