Quitting television

[KennyWayne]

Great experiment, Hope you make it. I can gladly say I have never watched a single "Reality Show", except for the Japanese version of 'Iron Chef'. We have way too many books and all the walls are double stacked so I can recommend a few if reading material is what you need... Anything by Robert Ruark, He taught Ernest Hemingway how to 'Safari' in Africa,, 'An Old Man & a Boy' is one of his best works, if you can't find it, call me I have a copy from 1960, I will loan it.

I gave up my high speed internet too. This aircard is like a dial up to watch a youtube video, so I don't think I'll be streaming any shows. But it's handy and I can have interweb at the camp.

get a smart phone like an htc and use it as a wifi hotspot. i can surf the web on my phone or connect it to my laptop and connect that way. we were watching netflix movies on the road when we drove to cali last month.

Hey gilbert whats the rate plan and is there a limit on the Megabites or downloads?

We cut our cable off in June. It's been great.

[Wiggy]

Cable cost me around $1200 a year. But I know that if I cut it out, the divorce would cost me more!

I dont know what she would do without " The Real Big Brother of Jersy Shore's Ghost Hunter in 48 Hours" or whatever the hell its called.

Anyway. Its coming up on football season. So I wont have much room to talk for a few months.

If I didn't have the fishing channel I would have to live on the beach to get my fix.

Just went thru the channels on the d tv and well, I've always wondered why we pay for so many 'paid for programming' channels. The 'who lives where and how they live', I dont even want to get started on that one. The food channel used to be fun. I have never liked that these providers up there numbers of channels by including radio channels, geez. This satellite provider service should be paying me for annoying me with all of that crap. Really, only thing I'd miss is VS during parts of the year and some of the history channel. You got me thinking there Coach. When we are out of town, I only usually watch the local channels in the area, using the regular antenna. Local has my only addiction right now anyway, and it is not in season yet.

[small bites]

Oh, the weather channel. I think there is a way to get that thru a live link on the 'puter.

[FlatoutFishin]

Interesting...the wife and I have been thinking about doing this, but it is mostly her doing the "thinking about"...I hardly ever watch anything except when trying to go to sleep early when I'm working on days. I've pointed out though how reliant she's become on DVR and she'll have to do without...so none of this will happen I'm sure.

Sandy, I'm with yeah on the History Channel...it has become reality...so for me it really is the history channel as I never watch it anymore!

I couldn't make it without Oprah, Tyra and Dr. Phil.
