re: #368 Killian Bundy

Killian - I don’t have a TV, and for most of the past 20 years haven’t had one, or if I did (in Japan, came with the apartment) it was off nearly all the time.

You might find it strange, but I got either bored with most of it, or felt like I was being manipulated by the rest. (Both the advertising schemes as well as the whole gov’t dance with HDTV.)

I do watch some video, a few movies, some from online sources (like Hulu.) But they are the programs that I want to watch, that are interesting or enlightening to me, at a time when I choose.

/In Japan it was sometimes useful to watch TV just to absorb the culture and the language. As in other countries, the professional broadcasters have the clearest speech.
