Just don't watch TV anymore - there is usually nothing on it of any value whatsoever with the rare exception of ABC or SBS.
My blood pressure got too high whenever I saw Rove, Dave Hughes etc or any of the other idiotic presenters that Australia has, including most of the news.
Now I survive entirely on DVD box-sets, movies and downloads from the BBC/ITV/Channel 4

Yup, me too. My TV isn't even connected to the aeriel any more. I found that most channels are virtually unwatchable due to the high frequency of advertising, so disconnected it. Now it's just for me to watch DVDs or play the XBox on...
