The answer to the question is Yes.. and No.. I don't know. Sure I miss it but at the same time I don't. It's more of a "dang we don't have any channels" and "oh well".
So far, it hasn't changed life very much. We are still finding our ground in "life with baby" and I'm seeing that TV wasn't very easy to watch as it was. I do miss the Daily Show and Colbert. (tho it's been a little nice to remove myself from all the political craziness) It seems right now, we are just replacing the shows we used to watch, with different show. I expect that will last for a little while longer, until we get sick of those replacements. (or until the sun actually stays out later and we can enjoy some of the evening outside) Wouldn't it be nice to take an evening walk? Maybe Em's bedtime routine could involve a walk a couple nights a week. We'll see. Maybe we'll get that garage in order and start some projects. I'd also like to read some books this year.
One thing I want to be careful of .. it's so easy to add in all sorts of other viewing options. Hulu, amazon, netflix etc...etc... It all just starts to get messy. I don't want to just add a million options of more crap to watch. Especially if those extras have more charges or subscription fees. Sure it would be great to be able to watch Mad Men.. but we've waited to watch them on dvd before.. we could do it again if we have to. Right now, I want to simplify. I think in a year or two, some of those online/streaming things will settle down and we'll see who is still around and worth it.
Until then, we'll make due with Oprah, Martha, Dance Party and Lawrence Welk
Now.. do we make the leap to antenna? Do we stick with dish and their IFC, Syfy Bravo? I do really like the DVR option. I suppose we could dig out the ol' VCR. Why do you have to pay monthly for a DVR? Do they have DVR's you can pay for once and just hook up to an antenna?
