Glad and thrilled to note your opinion!
Getting rid of the telly was one of the better decisions in my life. Well, I just yanked off the antennae cable and removed that jack from the cable. I have not yet dismantled the antennae altogether, but it is definitely coming down.
The bliss of a house without telly is indescribable. I use the set itself to watch more informative and educative hand picked video. Actually I think I am improving my life by having no television.
And here I thought I was the odd one out, what a relief to find other like minded souls.

Like you say, the occasional video will be watched, but the noise that passes for entertainment/information I can do without. I was an addict for many years but the freedom of not being tied to an arbitrary schedule outweighs whatever benefits (if any) I may have gotten from being glued to the screen.
But I guess its like @Mukiri says, some can disseminate what's useful, to each his own.
Better to ask the question and look like a fool for a moment, than to remain in ignorance and be a fool forever.
