Results of TV study

It does seem rather an odd choice to start a thread about - My Own Survey on My Own viewing habits!

If you were given the tv, apricot, I'd have thought you'd be able to find someone else who'd appreciate it as you've decided never to watch it again.

Why not just get rid of it? What is the point of it under the stairs when someone else might enjoy it?

I am very suspicious of people who can find nothing on TV that interests them. Granted there is heaps of crap - but there is also excellent drama, music, science, travel, discussion, history, comedy to brighten a gloomy day etc. And it is worth the license fee just for the broadcast Proms concerts on BBC4 - an annual treat that I love. And the Cardiff Singer of the World - I could go on.

How narrow in outlook does one have to be to find nothing to enjoy or to learn? I think there might be an element of snobbery creeping in here.

If the license people are going to catch you anyway you might as well keep it out. Some of the most interesting programmes I've found have been sheer serendipity finding them while browsing. Just looking once a week at programme listings or reviews by someone else risks missing out on unexpected goodies but its your choice of course.

The trouble is, Apricot, I like a large screen!

I don't think they come around any more - I think what happens is that those addresses without a TV licence are contacted - well I think that is what happens

If the licence police come round and find the TV under the stairs, apricot they won't believe you're not watching it.
