> It isn't hard; throw away your TV now. Or at least cut the cable, tear down the antenna, and use the satellite dish for an exciting mini-sled adventure come winter! About 7 months ago, circumstances deprived me of a TV. Surprised myself by going from having it on for four to five hours a day (even if I wasn't actively watching it all that time) to never having a TV around and not missing it one bit. I had to buy one, finally, because I love movies way too much to carry on watching them from my computer desk. I would also humbly propose that if there are one or two shows you just can't stand to miss, find some friends and get together to watch it. Makes it an event and you'll get some social contact from the whole affair.
