Simple as this. My TV broke down two years ago and i still haven't bought a new one and i don't intend to do so either since i find my life so much better without it. More time to do other things, no stupid commercials, soap documentarys or other useless programs.
I want to know if i'm the only one at this forum not to own a TV?

No, so why won't you open a can of "shut up" for yourself please. You have no idea what i do with my spare time.
Commercials. Meh. Once you go TIVO and/or DVR, I watch what TV program I want when I want. Skip through those commercials. When I have to watch a live broadcast, I miss being able to skip or fastforward. Being able to rewind and watch those "wardrobe malfunctions" is just icing. And last, use my DVD-recorder to save those choice programs.Hurricane wrote:
Yep, HD. Fiber optic TV (much cheaper than Com "Fuck Our Customers" cast) + DVR = pretty damn good. 24 in HD just rocks.
Although I do agree about commercials. I don't give a shit about the AARP medicare supplement, or some barbie ad. Every once in a while there's a good commercial, but the majority of them are fucking worthless.
It's a pretty good argument someone brought up in PC Mag in one issue. He said he had antenna TV because he thinks cable's a ripoff. Sure the quality's better, but it costs money for only a handful of channels you'll actually watch + advertisements off the roof.
But as far as TV count, only 4. Waiting for 1080P to go just a little bit lower, along with LED backlit and 10/12 bit technology to go mainstream.
Jeeesus! I have no idea what you just said with those TV specs. I guess i have a lot of reading up to do on TV technics when i do decide to buy one......Ilocano wrote:

Digital switchover in Sweden
Sweden is nearly half way through its main transmitter switch off programme. Already, 23 out of a total of 54 transmitters have stopped their analogue television broadcasts and complete analogue switch off is expected by November 2007. Network operator Teracom has already conducted trials for high-definition television (HDTV) and mobile television using the DVB-H standard; two services which may be made available to viewers in the next two years when spectrum is released by the analogue switch off.
Digital switchover status
5 multiplexes on air offering viewers 10 free-to-air and 27 pay-DTT services in addition to regional programming.
DTT coverage now 98% of the population with coverage increasing to 99.8% by early 2008 (for public service broadcasts).
Analogue switch-off has been taking place on a region-by-region basis since September 2005.
Stage 1: September - December 2005: Gotland, Gävle and Motala/Linköping
Stage 2: February - May 2006: Kisa, Norrköping, Uppsala, Västerås, Östhammar, Bolinäs, Borlänge, Hudiksvall, Mora
Stage 3: November 2006: Boräs, Emmaboda, Finnveden, Halmstad, Jönköping, Nässjö, Skövde, Varberg, Vislanda, Västervik
Stage 4: March - May 2007: Stockholm, Sollefteå, Sundsvall, Sveg, Tåsjö, Ånge, Örnsköldsvik, Östersund, Arvidsjaur, Gällivare, Kalix, Kiruna, Pajala, Älvsbyn, Överkalix Stage 5: September - October 2007: Filipstad, Karlstad, Lycksele, Skellefteå, Storuman, Sunne, Vännäs, Bäckefors, Göteborg, Trollhättan, Uddevalla, Helsingborg, Hörby, Karlshamn, Karlskrona, Malmö
The first three stages of the process have been completed. Switch-off in the three largest Swedish cities, Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö, is expected later this year.
