No more cable TV. We canceled our subscription. The Digital PVR was picked up on Monday morning. I do not watch a lot of TV so it is not much of a sacrifice. Occasionally, I would sit down, pick up the remote, and surf. Kathy is going to miss the cable more than I. This is an adjustment. Not having cable means we can save money and be more frugal with our time. There is less and less that I find entertaining to watch, mostly variations on a theme that has been done countless times. I am thankful that I do not have an addiction to TV, Movies, or passive entertainment in general. Maybe I am a bit ADHD, but I get bored easily if I am not personally involved in an activity. This is going to save us a considerable amount of money in the course of a year too. The hits just keep coming with this decision.

We still have Netflix set up on the xBox 360, so we are not completely deprived of viewing TV shows or Movies. We probably will not use it much, but it is there when we feel like a passive diversion.

So many shows that friends have recommended we watch. Breaking Bad, Six Feet Under, House, Heroes, Game of Thrones, and the list goes on. Heck we are slowly making our way through the Battlestar Galactica DVDs we borrowed from Josh. We probably watch an episode a week. We should be finished that by the end of the year. At this pace we have years of metered viewing ahead of us. *grin*

Here’s to avoiding the TV Poltergeist…
