Might see about the possibility of a Superbowl party with them on that day (?). Or, if the party idea doesn't work (I don't do many parties actually), more likely catch the Superbowl on the radio too. You do raise a good point though, the Superbowl is sort of the quintessential TV event. Recently anyway the only time I wished we had TV was the Pay Per View Ultimate Fighting Champs fight last Saturday night. I'm sure someday most/all PPV events like that will be available on the internet (legally) as well as through the TV. Our neighbors have TV.

I listen to the Mariners on local terrestrial radio (when reception is good) and the NFL on Sirius satellite radio (we have two paid subscriptions there). Our three teenagers and my wife aren't that interested in professional sports on TV. We have two Xbox Live accounts and two Xbox 360 that our two younger teens play on the TV. We recently added a PS3 and HDTV to our bedroom. Our oldest son has a computer and plays games and watches DVDs. All the TVs in our house are either hooked to a videogame system and/or DVD player. We buy DVDs regularly and have a collection of about 500 DVDs. Last night we bought our first Blu-Ray movies which I'll write about in a separate post. There's plenty of video available online, both created by others on sites like YouTube and offered by the networks directly like CBS Innertube that we aren't really missing much of the cable, satellite and local networks. Honestly, I find watching TV too distracting for work, and prefer radio only. I used to like to have CNN on in the background when we had TV, but now I can get through satellite radio. You can continue to follow our family of five without TV for ___ days counter on the left of the homepage. A search on this blog for "<a href="http://www.makeyougohmm.com/oldi.php?s=tv-less">tv-less</a>" will reveal other posts I've made on the subject from time to time.
