...without watching television?

You can't watch your shows on the computer, either. No hulu, no YouTube, etc.

I could personally go for a while.

I'd need to find someone else to raise my kids though.

So far, TV is doing an outstanding job.

If it wasn't for sports I'd say I could last quite a while.

Do I have to stay at my house where I am tempted by TV and the internet version of TV, or can I do this time while hiking through South America or at a cottage in the Finger Lakes?

When I first got XM I didn't have TV for about a year after that.

I can't listen to the away games. As bad as Sterling and Waldman are I just can't follow it being broadcast by someone else.

I've gone a month without TV; I was surprised by my lack of boredom.

tv is not that important to me. but I like it once in awhile. I'd rather read.

If someone covered all my expenses to UFC events I could easily never watch TV again.

I think I could go several months. As long as I had music, booze, books, and some freinds around.

As long as I have an endless supply of books, music, my guitar, and my computer, I can go forever.

OK, I've thought about it.

I can listen to local sports on the radio. That's about all I watch.
Give me dispensation for Olympics, World Cup and MAJOR news events and I'll give it up all together.

Not long. I need the background noise when I work. I actually do not watch a lot of TV I sort of listen so I suppose I could replace it with radio. Nah, I would not make it a day.

A co-worker removed TV from his house. He has 2 boys (ages 3 + 5). He was surprised at how easy the transition was .. he said now the kids just go outside and have fun.
