I had Cox Cable at home... I downloaded albums at 1 mb/s sometimes. I didn't think it was bad.

As for t.v., I went through boot camp and now am at a place with no t.v. except in one of the lounges. I'll watch a good basketball game, maybe a bit of Sportscenter, but to be honest I love music. I would much rather spend a half hour or hour of time listening to an album than watching something on t.v. I play video games a bit, but not too fond of those these days either. I get bored quickly.

Could you shoot me a PM with links to the places where you watch sports and movies? I could never find movies online! :(

Movies:
Watch Movies Online For Free Full Movie Downloads (Has A LOT of movies, but you have experiment with the different hosts to see which is faster/better quality)

Live sports:
www.justin.tv/ (When a game is playing, do a search on the site and there will be a bunch of live streams)

I do too.
The time FLIES by, and you wonder where it went.
...Eventually realizing that you've wasted it on a video game.
It does always feel good to finally complete a game, though.

I don't think all T.V. is bad because there's so many things that I don't see how you couldn't find anything of interest. Of late I've been watching American Pickers, Pawn Stars, Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives, and the always great Antiques Roadshow.

I don't play video games.. but I DO enjoy puzzles and things like that. (Cryptograms, sudoku, logic problems, etc.)

i have a tv in my room which i havent plugged in from i moved into the room, i dont miss it. but i loveeee watching dvds. id watch them all day everyday if i could.

I barely ever watch tv nowdays. Seriously, apart from the odd film there's absolutely nothing good to watch. Turn on Sky Digital and you're greated with hundreds of channels of completely useless ****e.

And of course the webbernetz rules :)

I watch most of my TV online, download it or buy the DVD's. So really I'd say 90% of the time, if my TV is switched on it's because I have a DVD on or my PS3 streaming from my hard drive.

I watch alot of TV but generally in those formats. Very rarely will I put the TV on and flick through channels. If it wasnt for sport, I might even say that I wouldn't have a use for one.

i don't don't even own a television. it's been years since i actually watched one.

but i do watch television shows and movies, usually every evening. wife and i are stay-at-home kind of people. plus, with my blazing fast internet, i can download 1080p bluray rips in about 30 mins, so i've got several drives full of films/shows in HD.

I'm already into too many ongoing TV series', I'm already caught up in the madness man. I'm already part of the system man, a product of the media. I'm in too deep.

There's no way I can stop now, I need cable more than anything in the world.
