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?
