Re: No TV for one year
Yes. Ive already done it, more or less. Years ago when my tv tuner died I could only watch dvds. So thats what I did. No broadcast tv for me.
Even now I dont watch tv live. I watch all my shows on xbox live via apps like hulu.

I read this as being without your TV set and that would include watching anything on a laptop
Watching dvds/blurays would be cheating for me

I'd only count "no TV" as being no broadcast TV, and I can easily live without that. I hadn't gotten an HDTV yet when the analog stations went off the air in 2009, so for about 6 months until I finally got a new TV I only got two low-power analog stations, one showing Home Shopping Network and the other foreign shows. Last full-power station I saw was this:

This thread should probably be in "Other" to be more accurate, as I bet a lot of people who don't watch TV don't even check this section. (Still not even sure why I do!)

Re: No TV for one year
The only thing I watch on TV anymore is sports, so probably. I'd hate to miss the World Series or March Madness, but...
The way things are going, with more an more sporting events on cable only, this decision is being made for me.

Shows I could probably live without...but I'm too much of a political/news junkie and sports fan to be able to do this.
