It started off as an accident and poverty (moved suddenly, had no TV), then it was laziness (the hassle of putting up an aerial/dish), now its comfort (I like the silence, no more rubbish news at 9). I didn't say a proper thanks for the welcome, so thank you. And to answer your earlier question, there are in fact foolish questions that should never ever be asked, some ignorance we must hide to preserve what little pride we have. That said, I have a question for you, am I supposed to reply to each response? Because someone asked me for the anthem in my mother tongue and there's the plug offer... I'm confused...  Glad and thrilled to note your opinion! Getting rid of the telly was one of the better decisions in my life. Well, I just yanked off the antennae cable and removed that jack from the cable. I have not yet dismantled the antennae altogether, but it is definitely coming down. The bliss of a house without telly is indescribable. I use the set itself to watch more informative and educative hand picked video. Actually I think I am improving my life by having no television.

Six years, and counting.. bila telly! Bliss, if you ask me.. Good thing is that people, most often then not, disseminate useful info they pick-up from their sets. So I'll never ask anyone to stop watching

Share don't be mean! I was about criticize too, but in a more gentler language. Soon, meaningful one on one relationships might be replaced with the telly, as I chanced to see in a digital tv advert. But those who watch the telly should by all means not stop on my account. I am not trying to keep up with the Joneses.

@mukiri not everybody believes in marriage and yes I am a firm firm believer kabisa so do not even start with preaching cz nitakuangusha. But let's not go there cz this thread won't end. TV is a MUST. Addiction to tv? never. I just love hearing it talk even if am not listening.What of breaking news lol!! weather forecast,On the bench,crazy political debates,news and Papa shirandula on local broadcasts? I can even be at the shop but it's on.It entertains some geckos and mosquitoes cz I believe everything under my roof has an equal right to share what I have.

@Mukiri,ok lemmie just say.My daily schedule? huwesmake.You will collapse.Infact wazua relaxes my head cz I laugh and learn. Contentment means different things to different people.So do not generalize.Na hiyo connect, I have never watched it at all.Nikusikia tu cz the tv maybe tuned to something else ambayo sioni cz am on internet. See the sisters in that old wazess home called nyumbani? They do lots more for humanity than some of us.Besides, relationships are diverse. Do not limit a meaningful relationship to a hubby/wife only. It's also very wrong to ask anybody including say ur daughter to get married so as to feel contented. That we know is not true cz even Paul in the bible wasnt,Jesus didnt but they were fine. Contentment comes after realising and fulfilling your purpose. Is your major purpose on earth to get married? Are singles not fulfilling theirs? Ok if it falls apart for instance does that mean that your purpose is gone as well? See how purposeful life is higher than Marriage alone? Before u get me wrong I am pro marriage.But doing what God purposed for u to do is more important. ok gd day. "The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.

And here I thought I was the odd one out, what a relief to find other like minded souls.  Like you say, the occasional video will be watched, but the noise that passes for entertainment/information I can do without. I was an addict for many years but the freedom of not being tied to an arbitrary schedule outweighs whatever benefits (if any) I may have gotten from being glued to the screen. But I guess its like @Mukiri says, some can disseminate what's useful, to each his own. Better to ask the question and look like a fool for a moment, than to remain in ignorance and be a fool forever.
