There was a time when I didn't watch any broadcast TV. (Off-Topic)

It was bliss.

I hate

the TV on as background noise
searching for something good on
complaining that there's nothing good on

I'd much rather

have it off
play Halo
use computer or read book

My family would turn on the TV and stop talking. I saw TV as antisocial. But I've seen the opposite where it is put on very loud then everybody talks over it. And everybody seems to be monologuing - if there were five people in the room then you'd have four * separate verbal tracks and me thinking WTF?!? It can be quite stressful.

* 5 tracks if you include the telly.
