I have not had cable TV for some time and freebie digital reception sucks in my area--of the channels we could receive on decent reception days, more than half was Public TV stations. Also not motivated to for receivers, boosters, antennae, etc. So basically no TV for 5+ years. DVD player got a workout.
Living situation has changed and I'm now half-living with my mentally disabled adult son... who has gratis cable TV as part of his living arrangement.
It's amazing how easy one can get sucked right back into being a TV viewer if it's available. Recently, though, I've started noticing the commercials. Not content, just that there are a lot of them. Seems like a lot more of them than I was used to. It's turned me back off of TV and I pretty much limit my viewing to news. And South Park reruns. I haven't checked out Adult Swim lately because I don't want to start enjoying TV again...
