I know a lot of people that don't watch TV.
Two of my uncles and their families don't even own TV's. (Well actually, one bought one last year, but only for watching rented movies.. no cable)

I grew up the same way, we only had like 6 channels until I was in High School. We'd watch the news and Seinfeld on TV, and rent movies.

A lot of my friends don't get any channels as well. They are content with movies.
TV is lame.

I meant "what?" as in what's the thread about.

Digital switchover, got it. We've started doing that already.

Cablevision is being dumb about the switch:

So far they've removed 5 or 6 stations including Sci Fi.

I was wondering where CourtTV and the Sci Fi channel went.

Too bad those two channels are DEAD to me these days.

Yes. I like to remember CourtTV as much better than the trash that is TruTV. So, COurtTV is dead.
