Should I bin both my TVs now? Opll! :D

[Johnny Canuck3]

I have an x-box.

It hasn't been played since Snooker thingy 2005 came out. Which - I'm guessing - was in 2005

It just seems like quite a big step. Particularly given I've got something like 200 videos (last watched 2005) and 100-150 DVDs (last watched 2005; with the possible exception of one or two I might have watched last year. If I did, I can't remember having watched 'em...). Given I haven't watched the DVDs or videos, they shouldn't rationally make much of an impact on my decision; but it'd just mean binning so much, and ending up with so much more SPACE! Meh.

Dude, who are you trying to kid?

You spend all your time working out, or mixing steroid/fruit juice milkshakes.

 

[guinnessdrinker]

the only reason I keep bothering about my old black and white one is because of question time. apart from that, what is there to bother about?

 

[SubZeroCat]

I reckon that if you bin it you probably won't miss it

I'm tired at repeating it so often, but television has never been better. - I rather suspect that you may not be looking hard enough...

Now..... i defy you not to find something in there that is not of interest.

With freeview television at the minute is superb, there are good docs being made, there are great films on repeat there is good drama - i really don't know what people are looking for or what 'golden age' of television they are thinking back to when they tell me that its got worse - worse than what exactly? I accpet that if you watch big brother and noel edmonds that yes, you are going to consider tv to be shit, but there is a very simple way around this....

Footballers girlfriends open rival dress shops and whoever sells the most, wins.
And, here's the crunch - it's presented by June fucking Sarpong as well.

Charlie Brooker couldn't have made that one up...

Frankenstein the True Story

Is that the 70's mini-series with James Mason. I'd quite like to see that again, which channel is it on ?

Come across bbc7? For example: http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbc7/listenagain/monday/ for a random selection.

Loads of old r4 programmes without the depressing news and interviews. Plays, series, readings ...

get rid of the physical telly and get a freeview card for your pc , best of both worlds then plus youve got more space!!

I don't suppose you know of a freeview card that will work with media centre do you? I currently have a normal PC-TV card that works fine but the idea of freeview is luring me in!
