The last time I had a TV was about 4 1/2 years ago when I lived at my parent's place. They had a big screen with cable and HBO. But when I moved out at 18, I was broke and couldn't afford one. I had a computer with broadband so I didn't really need it. I still don't. I stream all my fights live and download or stream movies and shows that I want to watch. I hardly ever see commercials and I only watch things that I want and specifically search for. It's great. The only way it could be better is if I had a HUGE monitor.

So my girl moved in 6 months ago and of course, she fixed the place up something big. Now her and I about to start making more money so she mentioned that buying a flat screen TV might be cool. But of course then we'd have to get cable, and maybe even Tivo or some other brand of that.

I'm not convinced. I can't see myself sitting around and trying to find something I might want to watch. And waiting to watch something sucks. And I don't know if I could stand commercials anymore. I know all of you probably couldn't live with a TV but my generation is more computer obsessed and having gone over 4 years without one, I definitely don't need one.

If you don't watch much sports, then I guess it wouldn't be a big deal. I couldn't live without my TV on Sundays.

Dude, I said I watch all my fights live, just on my computer rather than a tv. The same goes for any other sports. I can stream live soccer, NHL, MLB, NBA, NFL, whatever.

Yeah, but the quality isn't the same, and it takes more work to flip back and forth between streams, than just changing channels. Granted, a stream is better than nothing, but it isn't as good.

True. The quality is not as good. But sometimes I catch streams that are really clear but it's not consistent.

and switching streams is only a few clicks.

I only have one TV, but mostly watch movies on it. No cable or satellite.

Of course, mi padre has satellite with HBO, Showtime, etc., so I just watch all the fights over there.

My TV died a year ago.

Ever since that I couldn't bring myself to buy a new one.Overall it made me a more happy person so I doubt I will buy a TV anytime soon.I read more, do even more sports and outdoor activities than before and I also study a lot more.I can't live without sports though so I always go to a friends house when the Bundesliga, NBA, NFL or boxing is on.

This is actually scientifically proven.

When Dobie met me, I didn't have a TV and didn't want one. I could afford it, no problem, but I preferred books. He ended up bringing one over to my apartment, so he could watch TV. I used it as a shelf. Never bothered to turn it on, unless he was there.

Lo and behold, some years later I don't think I could easily do without one. I fall asleep every night to either the Military channel or National Geographic; if I'm somewhere there is no TV in the bedroom, I have a hard time falling asleep. I also dream of one day having that 103" flat screen. wub.gif

haven't had a tv since nov '04. definitely some shows I miss, but it's mostly a great thing. I got a dvd player and projector for movies. I can't fucking stand it when I go visit someone and they have to leave the tv on in the background all day long. commercials make me want to break things. fuck a cable bill!

Only time I didn't have a TV was in the womb, and even then I was bitching about missing out on Reading Rainbow and Bob Ross!

Yeah dude, I read a lot more than I did when I had a TV. I'm cool with that.

Wiggles' projector kicks so much ass it's not even funny.

i give props to people who dont need tvs but id rather have 1, its very educational. btw, i never watch commercials, thats what the remote is for.

i see cable bills as part of my living expense, like my phone or heating.

I'm not sure what you're getting at Stefan. The one above the behemoth (68) is the only fine one. But then the one in red at the far right looks like she could scrub up ok.
77 looks like a dude.

You got it right.

The one at the far right is the fucking coach, she doesn't count.

Yeah she's fine but she's used goods.

# 24 and # 68 are the team captains and quick to put the rape on anybody stepping outta line.

At first I was going with the moose on the right, but then I saw the moose in the center, then the one that really does look exactly like a guy, then the other one that looks like a dude with big moobs and then Tom Cruise and got all fubared. No, it isn't easy. Are we supposed to find the sole cutie?

That's because you're a woman.

No TV?

Damn.. What would I do?

Football on a monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, Thursday night, Saturday (5 games), Sunday (4-5 games), I only go to 1-2 games a week, so I couldn't deal with it just for Football.

When it comes to tv shows I'm a dvd guy, so I wouldn't be so bad there, but Boxing is better on a big TV.
