The Dogmother Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 *sticks fingers in ears* 'La la la la lallaa' I'm a bit sad and vote with my finger on the off button - i hardly watch any TV these days, just record what I want to watch and then see it while i am ironing.. I probbaly miss some good stuff, but I have too much to do - there's the forum for a start! Besides if I sit still, i fall asleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 We're like that. We tend to record just a few things that are on really late (well late for us early risers, anything after about 9pm!!) We have Sky (Paul is an avid Cricket fan) and I often find that even with the 100s of channels there is still nothing decent to watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleata Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 my thought exactly mel. we have just decided (me and OH) to ditch sky, which is costing us £20 a month for the basic, no frills package. we dont watch sky one anymore as its rubbish mostly and the stuff i want to watch in on terestrial anyway. gonna save us money in the long run, you can buy a freeveiw box (which we are gonna do) from argos for £30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Frugal Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 We dropped the movie and sport packages and just have the basic sky channels which we never watch! Might as well give it up but we do watch some of the documentaries so I'd miss them and the music channels too. We don't watch an awful lot of TV either. I prefer a good DVD.

Mel (& Paul) Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I keep on saying we are going to drop the movies - but keep on forgetting What makes me really cross is if you have the sports package you STILL have to pay for extra sporting events (doesnt affect us as we are not footie fans) but I think its disgusting that you are already paying so much only have to pay again I think once the evenings get lighter and warmer we'll watch less and less tv and more and more chicken antics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dogmother Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 My sister has one of these enormous plasma tellys that fills the room - can't see the attraction myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 We have a 32 inch lcd on the wall above the fireplace. It is nice - especially when there's a gorgeous hunk on the screen (not so good with naked ramblers though ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
