I have one, but never watch it. I only comes on when I want noise in the room to wake me up from a nap. But lately, I haven't even needed that much from it. I wanted to set it out in the alley so that a crackhead could sell it for money to buy dope.
But the DVD player on my laptop doesn't really work. It won't play 90% of my DVDs because it says "WRONG REGION."
So I have this 36 inch television sitting in my room in case I want to watch a fifteen year old DVD some day.
What about this - what if I buy a DVD player? One of those things that I can set on my lap, flip the screen up, and watch as I'm recumbent upon my sofa? If I do that, will it play the same trick on my that my laptop does?
Getting rid of the television and its cords and its antenna sounds good. But I don't want to give up on that Emily Dickinson DVD shot with a stationary camera on theater stage somewhere over a decade ago. And there's also those University of Iowa lectures I like to watch by some professor obsessed with Joan Didion.

Re: Does anybody here NOT own a television?
I haven't had a TV in forever. I prefer to listen to music on YouTube, read, and drink at the same time.
Most TV is ridiculous.

Don't worry. We're in no hurry.

Re: Does anybody here NOT own a television?
I own a tv but channels don't work on it. Years ago the world went digital and I said fuck it. I have a vcr/dvd machine I'm good. I'd rather spin records and tapes anyway.

Re: Does anybody here NOT own a television?
There was a period in the recent past when I went almost three years without ever plugging in the television. I'd see one occasionally while out at the bars or visiting friends and didn't feel like I was missing much.
Agreed. Most of current TV programming is mindless garbage. Reality shows and Ow, My Balls starring Hormel Chavez, that sort of dumpster juice. Pointless shows about white trash families, dumbass entitled rich people and even dumber assed millenials. There's even shows about midgets. Fucking midgits. Oh, and let's not forget Dr. Pimple Popper and the sick fetish fucks who watch that nasty crap. Damn.

I have a pretty nice T.V. but I unplugged it and put a shirt over it after someone convinced me the government was watching me.

I have one but only because I like to watch football and play movies and music using my Amazon Prime account.
