we turned off our cable last September and did not have converter boxes. i did have the intention of buying one but money was just never there when I was thinking about it. The kids and I have gotten used to the quiet.....well as quiet as it can be around here! We watch the few shows we like online at our convenience. Unless dh starts working close to home again I doubt we will ever have "tv" again. I usually quilt at night and find something to watch online while I'm doing that. I like House, Lost, NCIS, and Bones.

Sometimes I wish we didn't have tv but sense we don't pay for the cable I wouldn't be saving any money if I turned it off. Infact we generally movies on DVD most of the time.

We have tv but we don't watch it that much. I like DWTS and a couple of others but mostly I turn on the criminal investigation ones that can be just listened to. We have an 11 yr old and have (and still do) monitor what she watches and how much time is spent on tv. (she's never seen an episode of the Simpsons or anything like it). For the most part we prefer to paint, sew or read. She's just discovered the art of making woven potholders so we're building quite a collection of those.

We have no cable but do have a converter box. We get ABC, CBS and NBC if the weather is good. Mostly we watch shows online or watch Netflix.
I am always amazed to hear the prices of some of the cable and dish packages folks have!

We have tv but I don't watch it much. Personally, I think it's just a bunch of noise, but DH likes certain things. It absolutely amazes me how much people (for instance, my kids) pay for cable tv and then there's still not much to watch. Since they removed most of the quilting shows from tv, there's no reason to watch any more.
