Thinking of getting rid of the TV

[EternalOptimist]

Dont get rid of the TV. Get rid of the attitude.

A TV is just another device that you switch on when you need it.

It is NOT something that needs to be there 24/7 or used as a pacifier for youngsters.

It has its place. put it in its place

The TV is rarely on here. If there's something I want to see it's usually there on whatever channel's catch up internet service and there's always YouTube which is better for music in some cases.

But I access catch up services and YouTube on my TV.

Even better. Gotta pay for a license anyway so might as well get the use.

Good point.

There used to be alot of coders who would use a methodology even if they thought it was stupid. Good coders will take what they want from any methodology.

I do hope you will sell your story to the NOTW and make lots of money after it happens.....

TV is a funny thing these days, its not what it used to be. I remember being at my TV at a certain time for shows which I could not miss, now with internet and pay per view on demand etc the 'TV' is just an enlarged display device in my living room with which I watch special shows such as 'Game of Thrones' etc. I think my Virgin TV package is a bit of a waste of money tbh.

Husbands don't really need a TV. They just want a remote to play with. After all men just want to see what's on the other side.

Gf chef and I have had the same discussion. We hardly ever watch tv and the tv itself is very noticeable (not Chav sized but still noticeable).

I wouldn't want to get rid as I love watching movies so I think the best solution (and quite possibly overkill) is to switch the tv for a projector and automatic screen. That way, for 90% of the time nothing is in obvious sight but then a great home cinema is just a click of a remote away.
