Videogames too.
What do I mean? I mean, watching TV is fun, in a mindless way, but when I don't have TV, or are limited to just a channel or two, I just don't care very much. So I'm missing some stuff I would watch... eh, oh well. Was it really worth it anyway? Going to the same website for the fifth time today has much more value. :) ... but really, it is true... though I watch TV when I have it, when I don't, or only have limited access, I barely mind at all... (and that is most of the time; at home we only have the cheapest package, which means 'the networks and just a few others', and at school... well half of the time I haven't had a television at all and of the other half, it hasn't always been cable- ready... like one semester I had one that only got up to channel 13, or there's this year, where my cable line has been broken all year so all I've gotten is very fuzzy PBS and ABC over the air...)
Figured out what had happened to the cable port today (it broke off onto the end of the wire), so now it works, in a fashion, and I am reminded of why I didn't bother to try to get this fixed before now. :)
There's also the problem that I have to use an RF switch for my consoles (it's not all bad though, at least the screensize is at least moderate... (18" I think?)) and, as with every one I've used, this RF switch's "TV passthrough" port is completely nonfunctional, requiring me to unplug the cable line every time I want to use videogames... yeah, that was another consideration of mine. Videogames > TV too, after all. :)
