i use mine for dvds and playstation only, i have no cable and grew up without it. there's some fun stuff to watch out there, but so much crap to wade through. i work at a hotel where it's usually on in the lobby and i CANNOT STAND when people sit and surf mindlessly, just pushing the f**king channel button over and over through the same crap every two seconds. honestly, it makes me homocidal. i love the daily show though, the chapelle show and MST3K.
