We pay a fortune for DSTV (which is probably much like cable) per month. But I wouldn't / couldn't do without it. Other than singing and reading (which I don't do all the time), watching TV is my relaxation. When I finish working (work from home), I plonk myself in front of the TV until I must cook. When I have finished cooking and other chores, my Amy is on my lap, I have my favourite blanket, and I'm back in front of the TV. I am following several series. I love my TV and am not ashamed to admit it. And I flip channels too
