I called DirectTV and told them to stop all service. I said I was tired of paying to watch commercials. I have not missed not having TV. I watched TV all my adult life, and thought this might be a difficult thing to do, but it hasn't been at all. I get my news from newspaper and blogs, and that is fine with me. Recently, I joined a gym, and they have TVs to watch while I exercise, and I can only say that my decision to stop watching TV is reinforced every time I go. I watch CNN and Discovery for the 45 minutes I am there. CNN is very bad - worse than ever, with the rabid Lou Dobbs (who chimes in every once in a while between commercials), and the bearded wonder asking asinine questions in the lousy and totally irrelevant programming he hosts. So - try it. You won't miss a thing. Susan -
