Television

I'm thinking about getting a new television set.

I told myself I would not buy a new set until I was forced to by the change to high definition, but that seems to be ever moving into the future.

I don't have cable and don't really watch many programs - my few tv obsessions are private, or at least the subject for a different post. My television is really a vehicle for playing tapes. So, I am pretty much a Luddite regarding medium.

But, the on/off button on my set is broken - actually, I managed to poke it into the tv cabinet and it broke off entirely and the remote control is no longer working. I have found I can turn the set on and off by fiddling around in the on/off hole with a wooden chop stick. I don't think this is a good idea.

So, my problem now is what to buy - or not.

Think I'll go window shopping online.
