Where we camp, there's no electricity, so using the TV requires either the generator or the inverter. Either way, it's a "conscious awareness of electricity useage" and we tend to only turn it on to catch the weather and the national news. Lately, with the world like it is, we only watch the weather.... It's easier to sleep that night LOL

Any more, it seems that the only time we get away from that "TV intrusion" is when we're camping or when the power goes off for a while. Either way, it's a welcome change from the noise and commercials.

There's another thread going about TV in the 50's and 60's. One comment was that now, with satellite and cable TV, there's 200 plus channels and still nothing worth watching......
