That's pretty geeky. It mostly mirrors my own stuff, though I've
not (yet) gotten into Big Bang Theory, and I never quite got
Firefly. And add everything Star Trek and BSG related, of course.

I
haven't had TV reception capability at home since about 1995.
I download those very few shows (mostly geeky stuff like Star Trek
and Stargate) that I want to watch. I'll be damned if I'm going
to PAY for someone to run an advertising pipe into my house.
Technically, my Bravia can receive DVB-T-encoded TV signals (and
analog PAL signals for that matter). I have no idea if it works,
because I've only used it to watch live TV once or twice. The PVR
gets used A LOT more, mainly because I can fast-forward through the
adverts. MythTV Commercial Skipping (aka Comskip) rocks.
If there's a TV show I want to watch, I generally wait for the DVD
box-set and buy it. Which is why I have a wall covered in Stargate
SG-1 and Atlantis DVDs. Oh, and Continuum, Ark of Truth and the
Director's Cut of the original Stargate movie. And both
Transformers movies on BluRay (the second one signed by Michael
Bay). And the Firefly boxset (and the Serenity movie). Then there's
the small matter of the Big Bang Theory boxsets by the TV
downstairs...
On the shopping list -- Eureka, the last season of SGA, first
season of Stargate Universe, the next season of Big Bang Theory
(think that'd be S03, the one that just finished airing on Channel
4), Sanctuary...
Geeky enough for you?
