Take them to Tesco Extra for the evening, and they can watch TV there in HD for nothing.

When you get the Da* - you will forget all your worries about your family. You won't be home at all

Sell the family, problem solved....

then you can buy the TV and watch what YOU want

We don't have a T.V. But I might upgrade my monitor to something huge so we can share DVD watching on it. And at the same time it will be better for photo editing. How's that for a compromise?

TV is vastly overrated IMO, to quote a once popular kids TV show from my youth:

you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

Know what you mean! We just got a 30" Apple cinema display with our new Mac, and that's getting more use than our telly these days, so much so, we're cancelling our Sky subscription and saving £65 (!) a month!

K-3, a macro lens and a DA*300mm...

I've had my eye on this lens for a while. Hopefully I'll be getting one next month to compliment my 16-50

For UK telly programmes I rely solely on what's available from BBC/iPlayer, 4 On Demand, and ITV's catchup service for my TV. I'm hoping the latter will have a download service available soon.

I do also have spanish digital free-to-view TV too. The english language programmes (CSI etc) are all dubbed, but then I use the language button to switch back to english.

Oh the joys of the digital age . . . and it's all free too, save for the cost of broadband.

This all begs the question:-

If you watch only TV programmes delivered via t'internet, and have no traditional television receiver, do you need to cough up for a TV licence?

Yes I believe you do Mannesty - someone argued this in the UK and lost as I recall.
Of course in civilised countries they ave scraped the licence.

Here we get the Beeb (all 4 channels on digital cable), and the Dutch don't dub foreign programmes, they subtitle them, which makes things easy. It does result in Wimbledon on several channels at once, which is a total pain, especially when it is followed by football! (No I'm not a sport lover)

Not sure I could have done what Epithet did - every time I had the money saved up for a new camera something came along and needed it more, and I gave up the money for the greater good. Luckily I love my Ds.
Maybe it's a female thing, not spending the money on ourselves - the bill payer happily forked out a small fortune on guitar stuff in the US, whilst saying we should be cutting down on spending and saving again after such an extravagant holiday
