No TV In Our House – Update
Well, it has been a few months since we decided to get rid of our DirecTV subscription and I thought it would be good to provide an update. The title might be slightly misleading, we still have our physical TV, we only use it for DVD’s, Netflix, and games now. We no longer subscribe to a traditional TV service like cable or satellite.
What’s changed?
- It’s quieter around our house. The TV isn’t always on making the house louder.
- I’ve been doing more productive things around the house. Family, yard, hobbies are getting more of my time.
- I’m busy! I don’t even know how I watched TV at this point. I have been so busy doing stuff I just don’t know what I was doing before and how I fit TV into my life.
- I’ve read several books.
- I’m missing the Stanley Cup Playoffs. I’m getting over this as it happens, but I do love hockey. I can still go over to my brothers house to watch it if I want. Maybe some of the last few games…
Overall, I recommend getting rid of the TV service. You really don’t miss anything. Actually, you experience a lot more because of it!
