Netflix has a good collection of documentaries.Unfortunately, I can't convince my wife to give up cable. She's stuck on the push model. No idea why. Different strokes. Sigh.If the conversation mentions it and I have 2500 movies and over 9000 TV episodes, well I dunno. It happens. So I relegated the TV to the downstairs. Upstairs is comfy chairs, music, food. I've had people request certain things they missed bcuz they know I'm up on it. I try to spend as little time possible watching videos of any sort. Communicating. Reading. Background or foreground music is acceptable. I don't believe in background TV for the most part. Even concerts or music videos can tear apart a good conversation. I had a TV in my bedroom until the early 80s when it was replaced with a Tandy then a c64 and I've been moving increasingly away from television ever since. Videos get me. I like documentaries. But the concept of push TV is strange and foreign. I've tried cable TV a couple times in the past few days and I don't understand it. I can't watch something until its scheduled? That's silly. I can't pause? That's silly. It just seems weird. Someone else telling me when a show will be on. I much prefer pull TV where I can choose wha I want when I wanna view it and pause and restart even.

(^= I rocked this email on my iPad2 =^)Why would one even turn on the TV when you have company? Just because
there is a TV in that room does not mean it has to be on!
We have 3 TVs, family room, bedroom and kitchen. The kitchen TV is my
life saver to be able to watch tv when cooking, I spend a lot of time in
the kitchen that would be totally boring w/o TV!
The family room TV is just that, for the times we watch TV as a family.
Now the bedroom TV is for ME! Hubby watches a lot of "guy" stuff that is
totally uninteresting to me so off to the bedroom I go. We just bought a
Sleep Number bed with the adjustable head and foot so I can read or
watch TV in real comfort (I have sciatica and an aging spine).
