Ever since I moved up North, I've been cable TV-free. Now, that's only one week, and much of that time's been spent unpacking, buying stuff for my new place, and getting acquainted with my new job.
But I think I'll stick with the zero-cable program for a bit. No more HD, no more digital cable, no more DVR.
I've got 13 low-def channels. Not the 13 I'd pick (Headline News? Ugh!), but that's OK. I can catch a Sunday NFL game or two in real time (no DVR), stumble upon a show (I caught the first 10 minutes of an episode of "Glee" and found it surprisingly funny, but then I got a phone call), and otherwise live the antiquated life of our TV-watching forefathers and mothers.
I'm not a huge TV watcher anyway. My tube vices are "The Office," "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," sports (football, hoops, baseball, soccer), and "Law and Order."
"The Office," for one, is available online. And if there's a game I'm dying to watch, I can always find a sports bar or mooch off of one of my friends (or my parents, an hour away).
And I've still got Netflix. I mean, I'm not a complete monk.
