I've got a tv I use for video gaming. I don't watch television anymore unless its family fued in my mom's room. I really quick when SciFi channeled turned into SyFy and included wrestling. That was my last straw u.u... If I ever needed to watch something that would show on cable I'd watch the live stream online from the website

Yea it was a big awkward mess x.x

  No TV since 2006 when my old 25" Heathkit model GR-2000 of 30 years went out and I could no longer find parts for.  It was a good TV set and since I built it, I took good care of it.  That one was the first TV model that had electronic tuning instead of those old rotary dial tuners.  I used to assemble some of their electronic kits.  Heathkit is coming back though!  According to their website they are currently in "stealth mode".  Sounds familiar?  Google "Heathkit".
  I took the chassis out of a Magnavox cabinet I got for it when I was fixing TVs out of a friend's garage in the late 1970's.  That Heathkit chassis was sent to a recycling company and that cabinet will be one day a small bookcase.  The "Maggotbox" cabinet still have the vacuum tube layout pasted to the inside.  The Heathkit was all solid state, except for the CRT.  I do not want a new TV.  In 2006, the Discovery Channel turned into the UFO channel, A&E turned into a tattoo parlor and chopper shop, and Animal Planet turned into an animal cop show!  I just stream the PBS stuff and a few shows.

Cool! I've played with Heathkit radios... but only ones that were already made.
I didn't know they did non-Ham stuff!

I'm an Advanced. 20 wpm stopped me from Extra and I'm not really pursuing it anymore (though I keep my license alive).

I do and I like what I watch but I'm extremely selective in my viewing. While there is a vast amount of programming on cable TV, for me only about 1% of it is worth viewing. I don't watch any of the so-called reality shows or contrived competition shows. I don't follow any sports except the Olympics every 2 years. Almost all my TV viewing I record. I usually take a few minutes a week to scan the schedule and cue up what looks interesting to me. Then I've always got something to look at during lunch or a something. I rarely watch more than a couple of hours in one day and usually I'm eating or ironing or something when I do. I won't go into programs I like, though, because everyone has very distinctive tastes about this sort of thing. All TV viewers love and hate thing their neighbor doesn't.
