So that's it, it's just a big screen. The TV we watch most often is a Panasonic 42" commercial plasma display. Just a big monitor. No tuner, no speakers, just a screen and some inputs. One of those inputs is a Tivo, and 1/2 of the time we're watching Netflix through it. 1/4 of the time we're watching torrented shows off of a WD media player box. The other 1/4 of the time we're watching the local news, or listening to it in the background (for what purpose I'm not sure, it's mostly garbage). I had digital cable for about 3 months earlier this year. Decided to finally try it. And, after 3 months, decided it wasn't worth it. The US is moving away from the old "broadcast" models quickly. People almost don't even care about the actual content, to the extent that there are many viable options to fill a block of time with various programs.
