Tired of looking at so many grossly obese Americans.

Turning TV Guide pages doesn't burn up many calories.
Don't you have a treadmill set up in front of your TV?
You could even power the TV with it and be totally green.

Or when family moves into TV room and starts holding a discussion and 
you have hearing problems. :-)  A frequent occurrence.

without a DVR (comcast's fyi) because we watch on our schedule.


Buffering is really a great convenience if you can't understand what 
someone is saying, if a phone call interrupts your viewing.  Unless you never

want to watch live-broadcast again,
buffering is just a much better way to watch TV.  I can't wait until 
the same technology shows up in radio - especially car radio,  I 
will never miss the DJ's announcement  of a song

title again (curse you, WPFW!)

The surest sign of downward regress is a civilization that's too damn 
lazy to look things up and keep track of them.

Mourning the passage of the buggy whip?

I can't think of a better task for a computer than to keep a list of all 
my wishes and to make sure they are carried out.

No we are just pleasantly Plump.  And I love my DTiVOs all three of
them.  If we have these  gosh darn computer things we should use them
by gum.
