FWIW it isn't difficult for long. We went cold turkey from cable in November of 2002 (kids were 8 and 5 at the time) and have never looked back. You and the kiddies will adjust and very soon you'll have conversations with the wife like, "when did we ever find time to watch TV?" Books are better when they don't compete with TV. Christmas was not a nightmare of shattered expectations, no commercials (the kiddies wanted mostly books) means less demand for that "most ultimate toy ever!" Oh, and Netflix is killer. Everything we'd ever want to see is there eventually, it's only a matter of time. Sprinkle in a few kiddie oriented flix every once in a while (we've got a round-robin going of X-Files, Wonder Woman (Season 2) and Curb Your Enthusiasm, right now) So you miss out on the phenomena that is "Denny Crane" and i do miss CSI, but I think learning to play guitar and getting back into novel reading on a regular basis has really compensated for the loss of TV... YMMV, but it can be done. Take it from me, a former TV junkie. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Protect Your PC from viruses, hackers, spam and more.
