In the past, I didn’t watch very much TV. There were a few shows that I really enjoyed and would watch. Lately though, I keep the TV on more. I am not sure that I would consider myself an addict yet. That is just me though. My husband, on the other hand, is a TV addict through and through. I was recently checking out the Infinity DISH website and saw something I think my husband would love.
You see, before we leave to go anywhere, he always sets up his DVR to tape anything he would miss. But, there is a new way to watch TV and it would solve that pesky problem of having to leave the house. You can now watch TV on your tablet or mobile device for no extra charge! That means that if I had a doctor’s appointment, he could watch his favorite shows while waiting for me. Or, say I am picking up my son from school and there is something I want to catch on the news… I could pull out my phone and see it. Pretty cool, huh?
I remember when we moved into our first house. The cost to have premium channels was outrageous! We really did pay way too much for TV shows. It made me question if all those channels were really necessary? I admit to liking some shows on the premium channels though, such as Nurse Jackie. It is a really good show! But, is it worth it to pay extra? Looking at the cost of DISH packages now, I think they are much more affordable than they used to be. You can now get all the premium channels for less than what we paid in the past for the basics alone. It certainly makes this (usually) unnecessary expense more affordable and less of a burden.
As for me, I am happy to have the TV on during the day. It gives me background noise, provides me with entertainment, and also gives me important news. I am curious… do you have a TV addiction? Do you have all the premium channels, only basic, or do you not even watch TV?

I am a bit of an addict. Little by little I don’t take on new shows so my lists are down. I do love my DVR. We have premium channels so I have movies on in the background all day and I love Nurse Jackie!

We have a basic package- or I think the one above basic, but we will get HBO for the summer so we can watch True Blood (ERIC) and then cancel. I like the background noise during the day too.
