Our TV was 20 years old., Scott bought it from a guy for $100 several years ago. It worked well for us, we loved the big big screen. The only down side is that the TV itself is HUGE, it practically has the footprint of a fridge.
Scott had the idea to sell the TV at the beginning of summer and not replace it until November (we're hoping to get a sweet deal at the day-after-Thanksgiving sales). Then we can enjoy the nice summer weather and not get sucked in by the TV, which we'll admit happens sometimes.
Well, we sold it just a few hours after putting it up for sale on KSL.com (for....$100!). It's new home is at a granite countertop shop where a lot of soccer is being watched on it right now.
I miss it a little bit, but I don't think Scott does. In fact, I think he is secretly hoping November will roll around and I won't want to get a new TV. I guess that is a possibility...but a pretty small one.
Luckily, we have our bikes, nearby parks, and unlimited Lagoon nights (we used our garage sale money to get season passes) to keep us outside this summer.
Are any of you TV-less too???

Good for you two! We aren't tv-less, but sometimes I wish we were. But now all our favorite shows are over so there isn't much to watch besides the NBA Finals and the World Cup anyways
We have been married almost 6 years and have never hooked our tv up to an antenna or cable. we watch movies but no have no tv reception and we ABSOLUTELY Love it. Sometimes we rent seasons of things like 24 and we own glee and the office but we love not being chained to it.
In high school my mom threw out our TV and I remember I didn't miss it. I don't think you'll regret it. Like Sarah said there is nothing on TV during the summer anyway. I wish we could go TV-less, but my husband would kill me.
Yup! We just watch movies and we love it! :) But what do you do with your Wii?
We have a tv but no cable or anything so we can watch movies, its a pretty small tv. You can even watch movies on your laptop too ya know, that is what we do sometimes. So i guess you don't NEED a tv. I actually like not having cable, we do other things and its definitely nice during school because there is no distractions there. You will survive:)
Well, we never watch TV, but we do watch Netflix. ;) Good for you guys, have fun this summer!
Benjamin and I have never at a t.v. in our marriage...almost 5 years. Yet still we watch show online. you almost don't need a t.v. anymore. It will be a fun summer.
That's great! I would LOVE to not have a TV, my husband would go crazy! I couldn't live with out my computer though...have a fun summer--I'll be checking in on the blog updates!
That's awesome! I'd say we should do the same, but we just our computer WAY more often than the tv. I also love that you got season passes
We have an OLD projector that only works some of the time that we watch movies on--other than that we hooked our TV up to watch the olympics and then put it right back into the storage room! Right now we are TV, Internet, and practically phone free...don't reccommend it! :)
