About 6 years ago when Dish yet again jacked up their rates I looked at what I watched for the week that I liked and it came to 6 shows out of about 70 channels. I then dropped Dish and sold my TV at a profit. My Kindle app shows that I have read 571 books in the past 5 years. Plus several I picked up at the library. Don't miss TV at all and feel that I am much better off having read all of those books than watching the boob tube.
