I enjoy television. I bought a Westinghouse HD monitor a few months back and love it (as anyone who's read my blog or talked to me recently would know). There's a lot of crap, but there are also enough gems - even in HD - to make it worthwhile to me to have a nice television. Not to mention it's fun to plug my MacBook Pro into the equivalent of a 42-inch Cinema Display...

I have to say though, that I can't imagine life now without at least a minimally-capable DVR. (And the Comcast box certainly falls on the "minimally" side.) Television is way more interesting without having to care about its schedule. Now I just wish I could throw more storage at it; HD is big.
