My spouse and I decided four years ago to get rid of our TV set. It was a distraction and also we found we were watching far too much of it. However, over time, we recognized that there are some good shows on television and that we missed them. Yet we didn't want to go back to having the television set there twenty-four hours per day. What were we to do?
Fortunately, we learned that many TV shows are obtained on DVD and blu-ray, with complete seasons within a box and at times more. This was a great boon for all of us. They are affordable. Brand new ones cost around sixty dollars, but used shows sell for as little as twenty or thirty dollars per season. Since seasons of shows will often have about twenty episodes, i was paying merely a buck to three dollars per show. Because we don't watch very much of them, this really is actually cheaper than cable might have been in the long run.
In addition, DVDs have some great features. To start with, they have no TV ads. We recognized that a sixty minute television show is really only about forty-two minutes long. That's almost 30% commercials! We certainly have better things to do with our time than spend 30% of it was watching commercials. Second, we are able to watch the shows at our convenience. While it is possible to do this by recording television, this is an inconvenient process in itself. We can pause and restart the shows, or start them at any point. Plus, many DVD disks have extras that enable us to watch documentaries or even hear commentaries.
A lot of the DVD boxed sets are collector's goods themselves. It suits the collector within me to have a variety of my favorite television shows all lined up in a row on our bookshelves. When it is good to watch something, all those boxes provide a nice choice of options to leaf through, and we can watch our favorite episodes over and over again. They've been especially nice to have right after our babies are born, since we spend a lot of time sitting in chairs with babies on our laps, not able to do much else.
We then can view the shows on our monitor or even on a DVD and blu-ray player. All things considered, at the end of the day it's the cable that's expensive, not the TV. We get access to all the television shows we would like, without commercials and at little cost. The only difficulty is making sure we do not uncover what happens in advance, since we're often a season behind!
