TV slave – here I come
I just broke down and bought myself a TV. I haven’t owned a TV since I moved back to Norway, although I have watched some TV when visiting the old folks.
It’s been an interesting experiment. I can’t say I missed it too much. I don’t really watch TV too much anyways (most of my free time is spent on the Internet). I do miss watching movies whenever I feel like it. Watching it on the computer is not the same as watching it on the big screen while leaning back on my couch (much more comfortable than my office chair).
What really changed it was that i got a serious case of the flu (swineflu?) this past week. Really boring. Problem is, didn’t feel well enough to sit in the chair reading article after article. OTOH, didn’t feel like reading a book. Didn’t have a TV to watch. Made for really boring sick days.
Since my apartment is wired for IPTV, and the mediabox is basically a Windows Media PC with built-in DVD, I don’t really need to buy a DVD player. The only problem is that the stupid DVD player is wired to be region 2, and most of my DVDs were bought while I lived in the US (region 1). Very annoying. I might build another media box and just rip all my dvds. Haven’t really decided yet.
While I was at it, and buying the TV, I ended up buying a PlayStation 3, mostly for the Blu-Ray player. Hopefully, I can do some gaming too, but don’t really see any games I might be interested in yet…
