Up until now, we haven't had any TV to watch. We moved into this place knowing that Dude didn't have a TV or satellite dish, and our lives were about to change all the more because of it. No more hunting or fishing shows, America's Next Top Model or So You Think You Can Dance. And, sadly, no more Sunday football. :( No more news, it all had to come from the Internet.
I don't think either of us realized what a huge part of our lives the TV consumed. We'd plan our nights around the shows that we wanted to watch, and no longer were we interacting with each other. We were engaged in the TV. Living here has changed all that. It's forced us to talk more, engage one another in conversation, and get outside.
After three months of no TV, we decided to go out and purchase an HD antennae to see if we could get any over the air channels. We weren't certain an antennae would do anything but take up space in our little place, but it was worth a shot. Low and behold, we get two channels! ABC and CBS! We feel like we are living large! At least I can watch The Bachelor on Monday nights. It's unbelievable to think that we were spending over $100 dollars for cable, and we didn't watch 75% of the channels that we were paying for. Now, we have two channels that we watch sometimes, and it's free. I like that deal, and so does our wallet.
