In article , Harold & Susan Vordos says...

... I refuse to toss over $400/year for tv
programming, then be subjected to commercials endlessly. What little tv we
watch, aside from news, is generally recorded and then watched at a more
convenient time, bypassing all the advertising. I don't give a damn that
advertising pays the tab, if I have to choose between watching those lame,
insulting, head banging commercials and not watching tv, I'll take the
silence and some good jazz on the stereo in its place anytime.

We have a TV, but no live feed into the house. So we
can watch recorded stuff that we choose. This works
out pretty well, we do a library run once a week and
get a stack of books to work through.

My daughter was recently rewarded with a small portable
dvd player, for watching stuff in her room.
