Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Sat, July 15, 2006 - 1:37 PMFor me, it was about 5 years. Now I have husband who loves his Tivo...
It's cool, I don't have to watch it... except for South Park.
BUT THAT'S ALL, I SWEAR! -

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Sat, July 15, 2006 - 5:28 PMNo more than a couple weeks. Month at the outside.
TiVo / Replay, got to admit, I feel much more in control with them, skipping commercials, watching just what you want, not "camping" in front of the thing at a predetermined time but when you feel the desire. I'm a junkie. I'll always be a junkie. But I've cut down to a low, functioning dose. I can skip it for days and not miss it, because I know TiVo caught the stuff I might want to watch... if it falls off the hard drive in a couple weeks, well, I guess I didn't really care that much... so it takes the pressure off. I find I watch even less. :-)

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Wed, July 19, 2006 - 12:48 PM"What's the longest you've gone without having a single functioning television in the whole household?"
Do you mean a television signal or the physical device? Does it count if you have a monitor for watching movies but no TV signal coming into your home?
I haven't had a TV signal for over a decade, and the only time I miss it is when I get worried that I should be more aware of what corporate media is feeding to everybody else.
But, I have a monitor, and watch movies regularly - maybe once a week or so. And occasionally I'll rent a particular TV series and watch it.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Tue, August 8, 2006 - 8:20 PMMy tv doesnt have any connection to receive Shows. Thats been that way for a year and half. I have probally even only watched videos or DVD's on it 4-5 times in that time. I watch most DVD's on the computer.
I cant even stand watching TV at someone elses house. I start getting physically nauseas.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Wed, August 16, 2006 - 7:24 PMjust finished my first year without TV in the house. I haven't watched television much longer than that however. It just doesn't entertain me.

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Fri, August 25, 2006 - 6:53 PMI am going on a year without having cable or bunny ears. I do watch movies (although mostly on my computer -- i just joined "Vongo". I used to be one of those people that wouldn't make plans on certain nights so I could sit and watch and then my bf asked me to consider no TV for a few months. Now when I go to friends house and they're watching TV it makes me wonder, why am I here? I usually end up leaving prefering conversation to an electronic box. I'm glad I killed my TV. -

Re: What's the longest you've gone without
Mon, August 27, 2007 - 1:13 PMHave not owned a television in over 16 years. Keep a monitor in the closet for occasional movie rentals.....I too do not know how people manage to spend so many hours in front of a television when there is just so much to participate in in the world.
