Can you do without TV?
Would you be able to do without TV for a week?
BBC NEWS | Programmes | Panorama | Is TV Bad for My Kids?
I could i dont watch it that often anyway. Its normally just sat there in the corner turned off. Only watch a couple of programmes a week if that - thats when i remember to turn it on!!!

Re: Can you do without TV?
Could quite easily do without a TV. A large proportion of the programmes shown are bat droppings anyway.
However, I could not do without my hi-fi, which I use everyday!

Re: Can you do without TV?
Apart from Sky Sports News I could manage without it. If you took it away even SSN would be a distant memory in afew days. Everything I need is online.

Re: Can you do without TV?
I could live without the TV, but I'm glad I don't have to. If I had to make a choice between the TV or the computer, the TV would win. I'd still have internet access at work

Re: Can you do without TV?
TV wouldn't be much of a problem, perhaps a nuisance occasionally but thats about it. prefer radio,PC, n me music.

Re: Can you do without TV?
Could I do without it? Well, I think the answer is yes. Do I want to live without it? Well, I think the answer is no!
I have my front room set up so that I can mess about on my P.C. but I can also keep an eye on the 'magic fish tank', in the corner, I'm selective about what I'll have on in the background, (sorry ladies, if you need to keep up with the soaps not in this house you won't), but it is a nice bit of background noise that keeps me company. So other than when, like Wynonie I'm listening to my music, I would miss the box.
