The kids haven't even asked about watching tv. The living room even looks better without it there! I do, of course, want a big-ass flat screen LCD tv in due course, but if that happens its use will be strictly for cool DVDs and NBA basketball :) Well, one day down and it’s gone well.

We were allowed to watch "sesame street" and one other show a week if we had done everything else - a reward of sorts that mostly we didn't even choose. Now as an adult I've never understood the way people just watch anything on the box - and MySky puts an end to that need even when we're tired and can't do anything but blob.
