Has anyone killed their TV?

“When you’re young, you look at television and think, There’s a conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down. But when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth.”
— Steve Jobs


......................... I was just curious if anyone has actually cut the cord and what it was like.

In the Absence of the Sacred is one of the best books I ever read. Must be time to reread it again.

I watch TV...sports and news mainly, and yes a couple of reality TV shows. After reading this thread I decided not to turn it on today (I normally have it on in the background when I'm home). It was actually nice to work in quiet...pretty sure I didn't miss anything...may be on to something.

I've been thinking about it too - though I am not sure I would be more productive as I would probably read as much as I watch TV.
