Decision on TV

September 6th, 2012 at 01:53 pm

Last month I posted that we were considering getting satellite TV again. We've made our decision - we're not getting it.

While the monthly cost was a factor, that wasn't the main driver. The primary reason is our kids. They don't need it. The crap that's marketed to them via TV. The crap that's on TV. Our kids aren't even bugging us to get TV. So, why would we?

Clearly, we're saving money by not getting satellite again. That's great. And I miss some aspects of TV. But, we just don't need it.

    Sounds good to me! I agree that broadcast tv even has things that are un-desirable for kids.

    Thanks for posting! I think that was a great decision, not only to save money, but to save your kids from what is on television these days. They don't need to see commercials about a new toy, etc. Great post!

    TV used to make my kid grumpy. Something about sitting there so passively.

    I think that's a wise decision. And it's not just bad for kids to be inundated with all those commercials. I don't think we adults need it either. All that stuff we never knew we wanted because we didn't even know it existed until the shiny TV showed it to us. I'd rather not know or want.
