It's a decision that neither of us regrets. We watch what we want when we want to without ads. Ryanne thinks that only hotel TVs have ads - she was startled when we watched the Thanksgiving Day Parade and it had ads. "It's just like a hotel TV," she said.Wynniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06781222230541805123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000770442104668433.post-2340859972456437932008-02-25T09:22:00.000-06:002008-02-25T09:22:00.000-06:002008-02-25T09:22:00.000-06:00I agree with the TIVO thing- we have dvr through dish and I think it's the same. It's tv on our terms. It eliminates commercials and shortens the time in front of the tube.<BR/><BR/>I can watch an hour long show in 45 minutes.<BR/><BR/>My kids have appropriate shows available any time we need them. This came in handy at 3 am when my son awoke sick and needed a fruit pop to soothe his throat and a distraction.<BR/><BR/>Good Post!Meghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06938740393656667320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000770442104668433.post-73753679233333654912008-02-24T17:52:00.000-06:002008-02-24T17:52:00.000-06:002008-02-24T17:52:00.000-06:00I use a TiVo so I don't have to be a slave to my TV. I only watch it when I want to and if I have something else to do I will just let my TiVo record what I want to see and watch it when I have a chance to see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000770442104668433.post-80790217255935489232008-02-18T20:12:00.000-06:002008-02-18T20:12:00.000-06:002008-02-18T20:12:00.000-06:00Thanks!

I came here via Steve Olsen, and now have you on my feed also. :-)<BR/><BR/>I went cold turkey with the TV in our house one day - I was worried that the kids would revolt but they were surprisingly not bothered. They asked for it the first couple of days, but after a week they stopped asking.<BR/><BR/>We've now introduced TV back into our lives, and I have noticed that our watching is quietly creeping back up to mindless levels again. Time to go cold turkey again, I think!cescahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13799210795942423442noreply@blogger.com
