TiVo and Spike TV Not to mention all the freakin' ESPN channels there are.....
And if you really want to enjoy yourself, Nickelodeon, TV Land, History Channel (several different ones), Discovery Channel, Travel Channel, Rural TV (yeah I know, but I watch it), The Military Channel, etc.
I work from home...TV stays off until I am done working. I actually get stuff done this way...I highly recommend this secretive technique
Mine is on but it's downstairs in the den whereas I am working in the loft. If I hear something interesting I can look down and watch it, but I'm always saying "I heard X on X show the other day" instead of saying I saw it
I keep the tv on for company, but it mainly stays on the discovery channels
The dogs have to watch something
Ariel is my TV attack dog. Barking, growling, doorbell ringing (even though I don't have a doorbell) etc. and she charges for the TV. Riley hears her and starts barking too. The other two are basically deaf and sleep through it all unless they are crawled on in the process. Sometimes even then, lol.
I work from home and live alone so always watched way too much TV. Several months ago, I made a decision to stay away from the TV completely (except for some CNBC stocks coverage during the daytime and sports) and spend more time reading books. I couldn't remember the last time I read a book. I read a ton of news online, magazine's like Economist...but somehow lost touch with the pleasure of laying around with a nice novel for a couple of hours.
I have been doing this in concert with trying to stay away from filling my head with so much current events, politics... and concentrating my focus on new approaches to things through reading about Buddhism and meditation... So far it has been an awesome change. If only I could cut down on my GFY time.
I work from home and keep it on CMT all day. Obviously not everyone likes country music however if you find an all music video channel of music you like it is quite refreshing. I listen mostly until I hear a new song come on that I have not seen the video to and then all I have to do is look up for a couple minutes and take a break from my computer screen!
