Go with #1. You won't regret it -- unless you end up wasting the  
equivalent time on the computer. :-)

I think the last program I regularly watched was West Wing. Now I only  
see TV when I visit family. ("Hey, look! It's a box with people inside  
it! Why are you all just eating and talking and stuff when those  
people are trapped inside there?")

Everything I want to see is in the DVD rental store or on the Internet  
-- and no (well, very little) advertising!
