I’m only 10 and i I broke my TV a few weeks ago,And it was torturing for a few days.But then i realized..There’s nothing even good on tv.If you want to get entertainment use youtube,want News?go read the newspaper.Miss shows,or movies? go rent the DVD,or read popular fanfics.Forget channel surfing,go do ACTUAL surfing!

I´ve never been such a big fan of T.V. ever since I got out of high school which was 7 years ago, I´ve always had a T.V. tho I hardly ever watched it other than to try to find movies and be annoyed everytime they already started or are finishing… Agh, other than that I only watched channels like National Geographic or Animal Planet since I´ve no patience for MTV reality “shows” … My TV broke down in December last year and I´ve never fixed it, just today I actually gave it away since it´s just taking up space in my room. The only place I ever watch T.V. and not for more than 15 minutes is at the lounge room at work because if i sit there T.V is always on with something LOL. So I can perfectly live without T.V.! I´ve found a way to download all the movies and T.V. shows I like and I want to see online and watch them without commercial interruption, now I need to find a way to find videos from other channels I like as well such as NatGeo, etc. Yeah, Life without T.V. is just fine.

Rather than stopping watching TV, I just started doing more things and suddenly there was no time for tv.
Highly recommended! Choose rich experiences over passive entertainment.

I agree with a lot of what's being said here, what is reality TV about? I can't think of anything less real:>. My TV broke down six months back and it's been great getting back out on the mountain bike again. I must admit to missing some of the live sport TV though, so I checked out how to watch tv online. This is what I use. I know I had to pay for it but it does it for me.

I think that it is great that you are getting by without the tv. I agree that there is much more to life than getting caught up in the world of television. Especially these days with all the reality shows on. I’d rather pick up a magazine or read a book!

TV is a very antisocial idiot box. just recall the days you had to go without tv for a day or two and the family would get together in the evening telling stories or catching on with each others lives. While i cant live without tv, i also appreciate the fact that social life with my family would be highly enhanced if were to lose it.. but may be life would become boring after all…ill never know until i get the idiot away from the box

[...] Save yourself the $20/month. My school offered a basic cable package in the dorms and apartments, for free, and we hardly ever even watched that. If your school doesn’t even offer that much, pick up a set of bunny ears, or just remind yourself that nearly all of the good shows are streaming online now. [...]

I had a hard time learning to live without TV, but now that I am used to it, I wouldn’t start watching again! It’s really nice not to have all that noise and those violent images interrupting my dinner.

My fondest memories with my two boys happened when we had no TV. One place we lived we just couldn’t get it. Another time lightning ruined our TV. Both times have special memories of our TVless time together.

Its hard but not impossible. Like everything, moderation is the key. I’ve reached a point that I’ve reduced my TV time mainly because I realized how angry I was becoming over idiotic/formulaic shows and infuriating commercials.
