Let's talk TV

So, I'm guessing the new fall shows are on by now? What are you watching? What is good?

My TV is on the fritz. And has been for quite some considerable time. Well, actually, it's not my TV, it's my HDTV receiver box. See, I have an HDTV that doesn't have a built in receiver for broadcast TV, so I have to have a separate box to pick it up. Much like you have to have a cable or satellite TV box, but I refuse to pay for TV so I am all about the broadcast channels. Nowadays, I believe that all HDTVs have to come with a built in receiver for broadcast signals, but back when I bought my TV, they didn't. And as you can imagine, it's not a big market - those people that have older HDTVs but who don't also have a cable or satellite box, so the boxes that are out there are crap. I've looked for a new one but am having trouble finding one. I currently have two receiver boxes, each of which routinely breaks down for some reason or other, so I swap them over every now and then (they seem to recover after a few months of not being plugged in). But it's not an ideal viewing experience. The one I've been using had been doing good for nearly a year, and when it started futzing out in August, I just unplugged it for a few weeks, and didn't watch TV (I kept watching a few DVDs though), and it worked again. Sweet. I didn't miss anything because there was nothing on, apart from the Olympics which didn't bother me. But then it froze up again. So I've been entirely without TV when I could be checking out the new shows. I am watching The Daily Show on the internet, and that's about it. I've been far too lazy to dig out the other receiver box and switch it over.

What am I missing? Is it time to buy a new TV and get with the rest of society? Be truthful - is there anything really good on? Or, given that I've got used to reading at night, should I count myself lucky that I've got out of the habit?
