In my new townhouse, I am considering having no cable or antenna. May get an LCD projector and screen to watch DVD's on. I think I waste too much time watching TV when I have it available.

Well I'd be perfectly fine without cable or antennae. I use my tv for games and movies only.

Why buy something as expensive as an LCD projector and not use it to its fullest capabilities? If you're going to spend $1000+ on a projector, spend the extra $50 a month and get cable (or at least spend $50 once and buy an antenna). Having a display as nice as an LCD projector and not having television on it would be like buying a sports car and never going on the freeway.

Until I moved to my new apartment I hadn't had any form of broadcast TV in several years.

Right now I have cable for two reasons:

1) My cable broadband is cheaper with basic cable and
2) HD content

I've only had it for 5 months & I already feel I spend WAY too much time watching TV.

Since my company pays for my broadband anyway I may ditch the basic cable and the HD box.

The g/f would really miss her Steelers games in HD, it would be pretty mean to take that away given their current standing...

I only watch one TV Show regularly,

Daily Show with Jon Stewart

Other than that, cable/television is a waste. I don't know why I am paying for it.
I'd rather play games on my PC or work on my car or read a book.

I got rid of TV years ago. I reccommend it to anyone, unless they are a sports fan. Even then, I catch the NHL Playoffs in the pub. You can easily download any particular shows you want to see. Ahem, not that I'd do that, of course.

I don't have one. I watch tv by the tv card installed in my computer. I will get a good HDTV within a year or two.
