But now when we watch TV - it's normally a DVD or something that we actually really want to watch together. We both read a whole lot more and also have evenings where we just do other things like play card games, listen to music, see friends etc.

I'd say getting rid of cable has been a massive improvement for us and we are also about £50 a month better off which is no small sum.

Life is good
I always have background noise on - TV, radio, music. Getting rid of the TV will cut my internet/TV bill in half, so that'll be good. There's still plenty of online stuff to stream; be it video or radio.
