Same here. As I kid I didn't watch a lot of TV. About 10 years ago my 
big Trinitron XBR died and somehow I never got around to replacing it. 
I have a small 9 inch job in the closet that I fire up when all hell 
breaks loose. I watch DVD's on my big 20 computer monitor or laptop and 
listen to the news on the radio or read the BBC, Spiegel and Washington 
Post etc. on the internet or a newspaper (although the US press is 
pretty lousy).
  There's just not a whole lot worth watching on TV, but who needs it 
when you can just go outside and see things "live". ;-)
