When Washington state in the US went digital, we decided not to. It was a little too “Big Brother” for our tastes to have it mandated by the govt to have a particular piece of electronic equipment in your home. So, we now just have the “DVD” channel. I also find it very freeing. Plus, it’s really rare for me to have nothing to do.

On top of that, for awhile in the morning I was listening to NPR radio, After a few weeks I was getting so depressed and despondent and realized that was why. I stopped listening and felt a lot better within a few days.

It really is scary what is being put out there in the world.

I also do not have a TV, have been without one for 3 years, it is the best thing I ever did. I also don’t read newspapers, or read the crap on the internet newspapers, the less I know about what is going on the happier i feel.

I find the days and evenings seem to fly by, (even in a winter), where as when I had a TV, my life was dictated by program times and the winter evenings dragged.

Not having a TV is liberating. Freedom of time and freedom of mind

Well done on breaking the addiction!

However you should remember that you do not need a licence to own a TV in the UK, only to watch live television. You’re perfectly entitled to own a television and use it for DVDs, video games, or music without requiring a license.

We only use our TV set for DVDs, and find it is a much more pleasant experience when you no longer have the ability to switch it on and sit there for several hours just channel flipping…
