I don't have a TV
But it has nothing to do with with pretentiousness. When I lived in France, I didn't have a TV, and it would have been pointless anyway, since i couldn't afford cable, or really even get it where I lived. When I moved back to the US, i certainly had better things to spend my money on then a TV.
I have wished for one when the World Cup and the Olympics were on, but with the convergence of TV and internet finally arriving, i don't need one anymore. Live streaming of C-Span for presidential speeches, live streaming of ESPN for the world cup, iTunes selling episodes of TV shows, and others now viewable in full on the networks' websites (ABC has everything online, for example), there is no need for an actual TV set anymore.
