    I use my TV for watching the weather network or hockey games.

    If I want video entertainment, it is easy to download.

    That would categorize you as needing TV?

    Could you not get weather reports from the internet and go out to hockey games instead?

    I could, but the internet doesn't play nifty jazz music with their reports, and the weather ladies are pretty hot.

    Also, I don't have the kind of money to go to hockey games all the time, and prefer watching them in the privacy of my home anyways.

    Then, your choice should have been, "Not a chance, I need TV."

    I really only watch TV a couple hours a week.. that includes the stuff I view on computer.

    I certainly don't "need" TV.

    The poll does not state how much TV one must watch each week only that you watch, therefore you qualify as needing your TV.

    I barely ever watch tv, and even then only for a few minutes when I pass the room where other people are watching tv.

    Start another thread on that one.

    Why would use a TV for your internet connection if you only used it for that?

    Perhaps you are exempt and don't need TV and are merely precluding the need to go to a theater.

    Perhaps the first option should not include burning the TV?

    But you still watch it 1-2 hours per week, maybe more.

    That would still qualify you since most people who never watch TV ignore it wherever it might be on.
