“Should I do it, lol?”
The worst thing that could happen is that you find something you like to watch and start wasting time in front of the boob tube.
I live in tornado alley, I really like the 24 hour weather. I also get sucked into the PBS home and hobby channel.
Good luck.
Not exactly a ringing endorsement, but I think I'm going to go ahead and hook it up. Looks way less complicated than connecting peripherals to your average desktop computer.
I'll probably switch it off periodically to see if Digital Dweeb is still ticcing away urgently in analog on channel 12, though. I've grown sort of fond of him, lol.
