I really do think that getting rid of a standard TV is the easiest and best thing to do if you want to rid your life of the endless drivel of dumbed down news broadcasts and the never ending assault of advertising.

Programmes are shrinking, ads are expanding, and product placement is everywhere these days.

I’ve been without one for a long time now too and it’s so much nicer to pick and choose content via subscription or just read around the news much like yourself. Life’s hard enough, you just have to look after yourself and your kin.
