In this way I will save well over 200 Dollars a year.. It is that expensive to use a TV in Sweden..

The interesting thing is that we can watch the programs on the Internet.. Most times I watch the news and maybe some nature programs. If there is something really interesting going on, I can go to my neighbor, but my IPad is enough most times.

It is hard to believe that it costs so much to watch TV. Here there are several free TV channels but most families already have cable TV and it is not expensive at all. Today people don't spend longer time on TV. But in fact you can still watch the TV channels from the internet and it is much more convenient. I don't really need a TV today, too. But my parents still need it

A good thing is that one can choose when to look at the programs - no need to remember what time they send the news etc..

when i was living alone, i didnt mind having no tv at all. the only appliance that was constantly used was the fridge and it sure did save me money.

I keep saying I would get rid of my TV if I could watch sports, like baseball and football, on the internet, but I don't always watch them, so maybe I'm fooling myself. Cable TV is more expensive here.

Saving money is always a good thing. I didn't know it was so expensive to use a TV in Sweden. Hey lots of people have gone to the internet to watch programs these days.
