A Season of TV Free




We did this last year and are planning on doing it again this year. We live in a very cold climate having snow on the ground 5+ months of the year, TV in the winter is a treat when you don't have it the rest of the year! During the spring-summer we only had the "life line" cable package which is an unadvertised package for around $12 a month we received the networks, PBS WGN and public access, without this we couldn't get anything, now with tv signals going digital I am curious to see what we could pick up with just a converter box and antenna, ANYWAY, by keeping this package we didn't have to pay for it to be re- installed in the fall we simply returned our cable boxes to the company.
Not having anything good to watch encourages us to be outside more and adjust our noise level in the home since the TV isn't blaring in the background. We do still rent movies from the library and REDBOX but not excessively. Not to mention we save money.

That's a good idea! Most of all the shows that are on in the summer are repeats anyway!
