In my Waterville days I was able to flip between the History Channel, Sci Fi Channel, and Comedy Central and just let it whatever was on wash over me while I worked at the computer. But that's no longer the case.
I have not had cable TV since 1998 or so. Just the 4 basic channels (ABC, NBC, CBS, and public TV)
When I travel, and stay in a hotel room, I am both frightened and enthralled by the programming on all of the channels. I usually stay up way too late, watching 3 or 4 shows at the same time, for hours and hours. it is horrible.
if I had cable TV, i would probably watch 30 hours a week of TV, drooling the whole time.
DVD boxed sets are available for the things I must watch, and I have purchased a few episodes on iTunes. I have also said for years that "the Internet is my TiVo". Bittorrent and years of having multi-megabit connectivity have spoiled me.
We have no broadcast television at all. I get my news from NPR and the internet, and I just finished watching episode 16 of the 2nd season of Lost. (I watched way too much TV in college, didn't get one when I graduated in 1995, and haven't looked back.)

I can't give it up due to my Weather Channel Crack habit and Adult Swim. YMMV.

I feel like a fool for dumping thousands of dollars into this over the years. Sigh. Well, it can end here.
