cfgsteak Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I couldnt justify it. I literally could not remember the last thing I watched on TV. The tattoo/guitar fund grows again...

Mel Noir Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice one mate, haha. To be honest, half of those TV shows are online anyway. I don't know how it is where you are, but in the UK, every BBC, ITV and Channel 4 show is on their website. I don't think I've owned a TV since about 2004, haha.

My only regret is losing the EPL. I guess I will have to follow the Magpies on the internet (they never get on TV anyway, fucking Man U, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool get all the coverage over here anyway...)

Ursula Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 We cancelled cable when Conan went off the air and never turned it back on. The only thing we ever watched was Conan and HBO. We don't miss it at all! Except for Conan but you can watch his new show online and I have a working computer again so hooray! And congrats on your decision cfg! I'm sure the $100 or so you'll be saving every month can buy you some sweet tattoos !

s33ktruth Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Just join private torrent forums, and you will have the best media library you can come across...these sites are tough to get into, the require invites from other members, but if you can find this site called torrent-invites...it is a good start.

Liesel Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I was so mad about what happened with Conan, that whole thing really broke his heart. I stopped watching NBC for a long time because of it but I'm over that now because Community is freakin' awesome. I'm sadly kind of addicted to TV but I've been watching more of it on Netflix recently.

Stewart Robson Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Nice one cfgsteak. (about the cable, not the football) I don't care about cable/satellite TV anyway, but I do like to pay my UK TV licence. That's where all the good shit comes from. David Attenborough/BBC wildlife and arts programmes are the best in the world. John Peel wouldn't have been able to have a job on the radio if the BBC didn't exist or wasn't publicly funded. I don't mind paying £145 per year for that.

slayer9019 Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 Since I am never home because of work I haven't had TV in years and never missed a day! Netflix and other streaming sites fit the bill for me (plus they are global!)

This said, I do encourage people to pay for Shows/Movies when they can.

Reyeslv Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Curious if anyone is using Apple TV? I am, what would you like to know? If you like iTunes and the media available on it then it's a good unit. You can also connect to Netflix, Youtube, Vimeo.

Jaycel Adkins Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 @Reyeslv Cool, I was just curious if you were able to cherry pick cable channels in order to not have to pay for a bunch of channels you don't watch.

Reyeslv Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 @ReyeslvCool, I was just curious if you were able to cherry pick cable channels in order to not have to pay for a bunch of channels you don't watch. You can but I think it's cost prohibitive that way. Basically you're baying shows of iTunes. It's good for streaming new movies and using netflix. I don't see it as a replacement for cable. But I should admit here that I am a TV junkie. The worst kind, I don't spend all my time watching TV but I need every channel that is available. To me that is a BASIC necessity!!!! So I would ask others on the switch t Apple TV instead of cable.... I don't think I could live in a world that didn't have pay TV.....

slayer9019 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I still do this shit. I've gotten my local bar to sometimes change the channel to a show I watch. Since its a dead end dive bar they usually dont care as long as I got a beer in hand.
