>Speaking of getting rid of poisons, I completely forgot... it must have been some 4-5 weeks ago: 5 years without TV. We cancelled the subscription only next january, when we noticed that nobody has turned the set on since end of october. Next year, when we returned home, we didn't even bother buying a set.

I cancelled all the cable channels a few years ago.

Except for PBS and occasional golf matches, I don't watch live TV
Basically my TV set is a machine for viewing DVD's and streaming movies and TV shows from Netfilx.
