Yes-Me and my family stopped watching t.v completley a year ago
Me and my sister took the t.v out,got a hammer and broom
Went to the garbage in the back of our house
And BANG!smashed the t.v and it broke
It felt good
We were so upset
My father always says the t.v as shaitans written all over it
But yeh get rid of the t.v or 4 starters fet rid of the non-islamic movies
Block out the music this is what me and my family did and then we slowly stopped

As long as none of the programs you watch dont break the shari'ah law it is ok.

Televisions and its like, such as screens of computers, that display numerous programs are not haram in themselves, but what is haram is showing programs that go against the shari`ah, such as showing women who are dressed and undressed, the drinking of alcohol, relations of love and intimacy that are against the shari`ah, and singing that is accompanied by haram music. Showing all of these things is haram and so is looking at them.

As for programs that don’t contain any of these forbidden things, it is not haram to show them, nor to look at that them, especially if there is religious benefit in it, such as lessons from the sirah and the like. Or even if there is worldly benefit such as programs about culture and thought that have a purpose. It is best for a Muslim to act with wisdom as much as he can to keep his children from being attached to the television, because it is obvious that its evil is widespread and its corruption is far worse than its benefits and that most of it is not free of the haram.

What could be worse for Muslims and their homes than television? For the limits of its evil are not just showing morally depraved pictures, but rather it carries something very dangerous for the youth and others which cultivates blameworthy character and belittles the gravity of disobedience by way of showing things like television series [s. such as sitcoms, soap operas and reality shows] and western and eastern movies. And Allah is the helper and only through Him is success for the best of states, Glorious is He.

WEll done sis!!! Exactly what I was going to say. You do not want to give what is haram to others, lest the sin falls on you. Have a big bonfire, roast some potatoes, make a celebration of of getting rid of something haraam. Umm ok I just like bonfires... the dustbin will do just as well :sister:
