I actually have turned off my TV almost entirely. Not because I'm superior, but because I'm a criminal. I download several shows regularly and am vastly entertained. So my glowing box is the computer. It's not as if I'm out exercising at the gym.
Excellent points, well put! I have to say I prefer watching telly on the box itself, but it's a good set-up here with a wide-screen etc.
I'm completely with you when it comes to adverts; not a problem with the Beeb of course but these days I tend to Tivo them out (start watching TV shows with a ten minute delay and fast-forward through the adverts). The number of ad breaks on US shows is insane in comparison to over here.
