just via the internet, I am driven crazy whenever I'm visiting someone who simply has the TV on all the time, even if they are watching things I'm reasonably interested in. I'm amazed at how many people have never figured out there's an "off" switch. And those who haven't a clue it's possible to mute the set during commercials.
