What's wrong with relaxing? If you are watching cable instead of doing what you're supposed to do (like everybody else) then you should limit yourself to how much you watch a day. Set the timer and when it goes off, get up and start doing what you should be doing. I like watching movies but I'll generally do it in the evening since I'm done with my daily work.

That is a great idea for people who get hypnotized by the TV and never get up to do chores or even to go to sleep at a reasonable hour. Sleep timer is on most modern TV that shuts the TV off.

I like having TV on for a distraction, but I don't actually sit still and watch except for 1 soap. Too much TV watching can cause weight gain from inactivity. I just like the noise while I stay kind of busy.

With so many channels to choose from, you'll surely turn into a couch potato. When we had our cable tv years ago, I was just like that. But I had other activities like spending time with friends that i didn't get much hooked or lazy in front of it. Love HBO and Star Movies!

Don't worry after some time cable starts to become boring.

I know how that is. Just this weekend, me, my niece and my mother in law have done nothing but watch cable TV. We sat for hours and watched about 4 movies. It's their fault! Lol. It made us more like lazy tabbies in a couch. We have lots of things to do but none of us actually get to doing it. And now, I have 2 weeks' worth of laundry all because of cable TV
