>Do you have an analog tv as well? You do realize that in 2009 you won't be able to watch on an analog tv without a converter?

http://www.dtv.gov/consumercorner.htmlInteresting. I haven't heard that Canada will be following suit, but we probably will. I'll see when we get there. Right now, I only get off air signals - no U.S. stations at all (I get 3 snowy but relatively watchable stations - sometimes 4 depending on atmospheric conditions). And like I said, I only watch maybe 1 or 2 hours a week. Until it was suggested that I might want to try the rabbit ears, I had gone about 12 years with no TV at all, so I don't think I'll worry about it much. I guess the question is, "do I want to spend money on a converter just to continue getting a few snowy, but sort of watchable stations that I don't watch much anyway."
Maybe I'll feel differently by 2009, but right now, my guess is not.

>>I'm with you 100% on this. I probably watch 1 or 2 hours of TV in a week - partly by choice (got rid of cable many years ago) and partly by circumstance (with only rabbit ears on a basement TV, I don't get many options), so yes, my relaxation time is spent with book and music. And I took up a hobby last fall - stained glass - which also is done with music on. I try not to do too much reading while I'm cutting glass though. ;)

>>>It is all about choice. Books, music, and other things are how I spend my free time. I do watch tv but only about 8 to 10 hours a week. This library has grown with me and for now is a place that I enjoy. When I pass on I am certain my three sons who share my joy of reading will be happy to divy up the library at that point. Even my daughter might get into the act for the books on programming I have.
