Yes, well, in a house with four or five people "recording the shows they
want to watch" the end result is endless television. I also reiterate my
previous statement that with 200 channels, the "shows I want to watch" are
unlikely to be as few as some commentators are implying is the case.

OK. I can only add, "here, here!" I wondered when someone would offer
that as a rejoinder to the purer-than-thous. DKH

Well, at the risk of ad hominem attacks and serious derision:
None from me.
What I find interesting about this topic is that people who choose not
to have TV sets often speak as if they cannot control their behavior
in the presence of a TV set. It's as if the only two choices are
excess and abstinence.
As I wrote before, I don't find it at all challenging to record the
shows I want to see, watch them without commercials, and then turn off
the set.
I don't have a child (yet), but that's a behavior I'd probably want to
model.
