Sure.

Hang an old fashioned VCR or DVD player on it and enjoy movies.

Commercial TV, even digital, sucks.

It's not the quantity of lines on the screen, but the quality of
the lines in the script that really are important.

Hell, Pete. They stopped using scripts for TeeVee a decade ago. The
SciFi channel even produces entire movies without a hint of script or
even _acting_ nowadays. big sigh

LJ -- 26 months TV-free, and couldn't be happier about it. I don't
miss 500 channels of nothing.
