My TV is off 99.9% of the time. When it is powered
up, it serves as a hi-def monitor for a BluRay player.
If commercial TV went off the air, I would have to
hear the good news from some other source who
actually cares.
My TV was unplugged 2 and a half years ago. It still sits on the floor where we set it down when we moved. I only miss gardening/landscaping shows and Holmes on Homes. Nothing else.
