It wasn't a conscious decision not to have a television in our apartment; it was more of an afterthought. The fact that we didn't own one, didn't want to spend the money to buy one, and didn't want another monthly bill coming our way helped in our decision to just live without one.
We don't really miss having a TV either. Do you have a television? Could you live without it?

We have a TV, purchased in "wealthier" times - but we don't pay for cable either. We also don't have Internet service. While we have access to local channels, we don't find ourselves missing TV either.
ReplyDeleteIt's expensive!
we've definitely spoiled ourselves with this stuff. and as much as i'd like to say we could live without it... i don't know if we could. haha!
ReplyDeleteWe have a television ... and honestly, I don't think I could live without it. Nope, I know I can't. Kinda sad but I can admit it! :)
ReplyDeleteWe have a television but only use it for movies and video games. I don't miss having having channels.
ReplyDeleteWhen first married, we didn't have a tv for years. "No room is empty if your mind is full". We LOVE to read and chat. But since the world cup footie, we have a tv now.
ReplyDeleteAnd don't you know living in England means you have to pay a TV license!!!
I have a TV's all over the house and I'm with Faith, I don't think I could live without it. I mean technically I could but it would be hard.

ReplyDeleteTv-less and happy! :)...but I am definitely grateful for Hulu every once in a while, too.
ReplyDeletei have always wanted to be one of those people who don't have a television. i think it's a really smart decision. however, this year, we got a flat screen and just upgraded to hbo. fail!
ReplyDeleteI lived with a television, but no cable, for almost seven years...until I moved in with my husband. I know I can live without it, but there are some really great shows on right now that I don't think I'd want to miss!
ReplyDeleteIn our most recent move (a week ago) we chose to do without cable and/or satellite. We still have the TV for things like Xbox *scowl*, Netflix and digital antenna. So far (although it's only been a week), not missing it at all.
ReplyDeleteI have a tv, but no stations, and I do get a Netflix or Redbox movie every so often. I haven't had cable or any stations for about two years and I don't miss it. I also don't have a computer {2 of them died within 6 months so I figured I wasn't supposed to ahve one} and I don't miss that much either. I'm on a computer at work all day so I am able to keep track of blogs, pay bills, and such.
ReplyDeleteWe only watch on show ("Fringe") and...we watch it on Hulu. :)

I'd miss it. It brings some mindless and sometimes n ot so mindless entertainment into my life. I work hard...I need that! OK. Rephrase that. I want that.
ReplyDeleteSomeone gave us a ridiculous huge tv (we are in ministry so things get donated to us-such a blessing) but sometimes I would love to get rid of it. Sometimes I feel like it sucks my life away.
ReplyDeleteWe have a tv... a nice looking flat screen one bought about 2 years ago which we probably switched on once every couple of months. :( We're hoping to get more use out of it next year though, fingers crossed.
