Do it!!! After several days....you'll never miss it and you'll find better ways to spend that money. I can't tell you how long its been since I've watched anything on current tv. Netflix is what we use now when we want to "watch" something. Other than that....we actually spend time together as a family, do things as a family, and help each other with various projects around the house. We even went 15 years without a tv in our house.
