Is there anyone who's opted not to have a TV set, and if so why?
I've finally decided to do away with my TV set because I very rarely watch it _ I loathe soaps and anything to do with so-called 'celebrity culture'. News and entertainment I get via my laptop and my collection of dvd box sets.
A couple of weeks ago I cancelled the direct debit payment for my TV licence and told the licencing authority I was doing this because I was getting rid of my TV set. I then disconnected the TV set from the aerial and although the set is physically still mounted on my wall, it's unplugged everywhere and I've not attempted to use it in any way whatsoever since I contacted the licencing authority.
Has anyone else done away with their TV set and how did your friends & family react?
