I have a TV, and a big one at that. The only thing it ever does is show DVD/Blu-Rays, and the front-end of my FLAC-playing ATOM computer-that-looks-like-a-Hifi-component mediaplayer.
To be honest, I can't even remember watching a complete program on TV. Even Discovery, National Geographic and related channels often get turned off because of the advertisments every 10 minutes.
There are very, very few things on TV that interest me. And the things that DO interest me, I'll buy on DVD/Blu-Ray. Some stuff I can't even get over here. There are two series I follow by watching the episode on Youtube (yeah, really), the day after release.
