My television is still functioning, but perhaps the service of my satellite tv is upgrading, and I can't watch any tv programs for two days already. Although I can still online, it's kinda uncomfortable to sit in the living room without turning on the television, and I can't enjoy the programs I like to watch. I don't think I'd like to live without television. I really enjoy watching television and sitting on the sofa comfortably, it's really relaxing.

I can live without television. There are other things that I can do. I would read or do some writing. Obviously we have different ways of relaxing. I do not find watching television to be relaxing. My alternatives include taking a stroll, gardening, playing with the kids, doing martial arts movements, and doing a form of meditation. My wife prefers the television. all the best, rosdimy

I can live without television from time to time, but there are some shows that I like to watch. Some of these shows can't be found on the internet. I also like to tape the shows I saw on our DVR. There are times when the shows are on, that I want to watch, are on when I'm at work, or doing something else. This way I can watch it at a latter time.

Thanks for your response. Yeah, I like television especially when I'm following a tv series. Some tv series are not easy to be found in the Internet, or it's too slow to be downloaded.

Hi karubod, thanks for your response. Yeah, I've read a studies about making yourself happy, one of them is watch less television. It's because if you spend too much time in watching television, you'll have less time for others. Well, I like to watch television and surf net too.

Hello my friend kaka135 Ji, Well, to be true, under compulsion, I may, but never from bvottom of my heart. I am very much attatched with T programme, specially with episodes that haunt me whole day, what is going to happen to Parvati/and other charcters. So i am tempted, why I say compulsion, these days children are always interested in their Cartoon shows, my younger son watrches Wrestling and elder one with news. So i am at last priorirty in front of children, but when they atre not in the house, I makeuse of my Choice. may god bless you and have a great time.

Hi there, thanks for your response. Yeah, I understand when there are children at home, they have the higher priority to choose what tv channel they want to watch first. You too, have a nice day!

I think yeah i can live without a television. Way back in high school, out television was broken and mom was pretty much busy with other things and would rather spend money on things that's pretty much urgent. I was too busy with high school becase i was spending 11 hours in school back then. Come night time all i do is rest of go over my lectures. Right now i can still say i can live without a television because i spend most of my time in front of the computer. Before i used to have a TV Tuner installed on my computer so i can watch tv programs at the comfort of my room and computer.

Hello kaka135! At first when we don't have our computer, I can say that I can't live without TV. But then, when my husband bought me a computer 3 months ago, I got hooked to it that I don't even have time to look at the tv programs. Maybe I can say now that my life wouldn't be the same without internet.

I think I can too, as long as I have my computer and internet connection with me because this two are a lot more powerful than television.
