What's the longest you've gone with no TV ?

[BMGM3]

Moved home and didn't take my old TV with me and thought there would be a mad panic to get another . So far hasn't ahppend and doesn't look like it will soon. I could go out and get one tonight, but to be honest, I can't be arsed.
So what's the longest you've gone without the square box in the corner of the room. Oh , and I don't mean being on holiday and away from home or similar . I'm talking a conscious decision not to bother when you could at home.

Three weeks, when we went camping!

[groucho]

As far as I can remember, never.

I don't own and watch TV for eleven years now. Don't need it, don't miss it. IMHO TV was mostly appalling and imbecile entertainment for numpties, and I'm sure it got worse in the last decade.

[nervous]

hes right about that numpties thing. so obviously i cant go thirty seconds without tv. gotta go, tv...

[supaspark]

Love TV...especially News Channels....

[BMGM3]

I miss the car and motorsport stuff, but that's about it. I'm actually pleased I don't sit and watch 30 mins of news an evening. The constant stream of bad news and religious based wars was taking it's toll.

Last time I remember doing without was 5 days of Glasto last year. Before that? Not more than a couple of days. I'm an addict.

[gh0st]

2 years - and counting.

I have no interest in watching advert filled crap and repeats of Star Trek - The next generation over and over again. Neither do I like sport so its a bit pointless.

I download the odd episode of things i want to watch (hypothetically speaking of course...) and have a DVD collection that I watch if I want to.

Other than that Im too busy trying to build a buisness and get my black belt in Karate.

Ditch it and find an outdoor or other hobby. You wont regret it

Three periods of three months - my first year at university.

I would come home to 8-hour compilations of Top Gear and Have I Got News For You

[agent006]

4 Years now, just got a TV card for the PC though.

[Muncher]

Not very long, a week perhaps. I don't avidly watch a lot, I just like it on in the background, like right now...

[BliarOut]

My big TV has been away at the menders since it went pop during the FA cup final.... It's gonna be a few more weeks till I get it sorted. Life isn't the same without it

[rpguk]

I took my TV up to my brother when he was ill and never bothered getting it back, went about 6 months and got one at Chrsitmas which I left at my mums for about another 3 months or so. Watch it very rarely now (maybe once or twice a month).

Strange thing is I used to be quite a telly addict as well.

[love machine]

About 5 years now. That was when I was at uni. The things just turn your brain to mush.

[RichUK]

I dropped all our Sky subscriptions almost a year ago. We now just get the bog standard channels.

We don't miss it at all, and we're £500 a year better off.

[c c]

Apart from TG, F1 & Moto GP I usually sit in front of the thing for 20 or 30 minuets scrolling through the channels. Then I give up and go back to messing around with a PC or something. Or if Mrs c c is in bed I slip the headphones and chill out listing to some music.
Never really been without a TV but the more channels that are available the less I tend to watch it.

[Trooper2]

One year and two months so far. I had to cut way back on spending when I decided to go back to school, I do pop a DVD into my P.C. occasionally though.

[simpo two]

Ever since I got broadband the TV has come second. And for about 10 evenings in a row, there's been nothing worth watching - unless you like watching morons arguing with each other. 40% morons arguing, 40% 'let's look at houses' and 20% 'flog your old crap for a fiver'.

[wizzpig]

6 months.
