Bravo Dave!
I get a very mixed reaction from people when i admit to this ;-)

I've found that without access to as many feeds as possible (last of
which would be most of the terrestrial goop) and a couple of 
automated vcr's to snag the stuff, plus maybe a `keyword/visual'
method of filtering it, the signal to noise ratio is just to high.

I find the cinema, books, and radio to be much more satisfying media.

I like one of my colleagues bumper stickers "KILL YOUR TELEVISION".
