Re: Is TV now the norm in the UPCI home?
When spirituality ceases to evolve, it becomes a religion of outdated practices.

When bumper sticker spirituality replaces true theology it becomes nothing more than a religion - Praxeas

Re: Is TV now the norm in the UPCI home?
I have a 46" LED Sony Google TV. No cable. The tv has a few android apps, including Netflix that I have a subscription to; I also have a Roku player.
I've thought about cancelling Netflix, because it's a major waste of time. I spend too much time watching The West Wing, Storm Chasers, AFV, and movies. And my daughter probably spends too much time watching her cartoons like Dora, Diego, SuperWhy, and LeapFrog.
I tried over the weekend to keep it limited, but still found that I spent about 3 hours saturday night watching Storm Chasers without even thinking about the time.
Growing up, we had a computer monitor that had a/v inputs for a vcr. We had a ton of BOTT videos and that's all that was allowed.
Ironically, we also had a reel to reel projector and screen, and I was allowed to rent films from the library. I never understood why reel to reel films of Charlie Chaplin, Laurel & Hardy, 3 Stooges and other Hollywood films were acceptable, but when the format changed to vcr suddenly we couldn't watch it.
