    My parents have cable, but I use it... never...
    I bought a tv tuner card to watch tv in my PC, I've had it 6 months and still haven't bothered installing it because I don't watch TV.

    I was just never interested with TV. It's far too boring. Games and movies are much better.

    just normal terrestrial for me.... :D

    but most of the stuff on tv is absolute rubbish now. I tend to just go on the interweb (adsl) cause I can look at what I want, rather than not enjoying stuff that I don't want to watch.

    Hear hear, Dish Network. I got 2 rooms (one regular box, one DVR) for free. THe I have acutally had 2 DVRs die, but their support is awsome. I had a replacement within a few days for free and the phone support was awsome. Plus, the channels are great. They have most of the basic ones in the lowest setting (everythign I watch anyhow). It's nice to have the extra hundred channels, though (dad is payin for it anyhow). I now see that you can get 3 or even 4 recievers for free now. Great time to be buying.

    We've had Sky for a couple of years now and were thinking about Sky+, but decided that as I'll be leaving in September, the TV won't be watched as much and thus, it isn't worth it. I'd quite like it though :) .

    Basic dish network has all the chanels I watch and digital quality picture along with a sony wega 36inch flat screen. I use it rarely and usualy late at nite as it is in the family room. My personal tv is just an antena with the local chanels. Gives me enugh like simpsons and usualy shows like that that i watch.

    Digital cable here
    4 boxen, 5 TVs (one on regular cable)
    Worthless crap, I'd rather have my dad get rid of it and pay the $10 extra to get 1000/5000mbps on my internet connection.
    The only time I watch TV is when my girlfriend comes over and isn't in the mood :grr:
