I spend far more time shooting than I do watching TV. I watch maybe 1-2 hours a week (mostly Anime Fansubs of stuff currently airing in Japan) and play 1-2 hours a week on the Xbox. I don't have cable as the only show on there I'd watch (Top Gear) isn't worth the cost of a full subscription.
Why the hell would I pay several grand for a TV I'm never going to use? TV is boring. Go out and shoot. -Adam J. C.
