If I had a pound for every person I know who makes snooty remarks about "not even owning a TV" but actually watches BBC iPlayer and Netflix TV episodes on their laptop... well, I'd have at least £3.

Well, one could argut that it would rather the new "I'm not on myspace, friendster, orkut, livejournal,…" but to stay in check with reality it ought to be "I'm not on aol" for aol was the only one of those to be a walled garden experiment. The "I don't own a TV" is often deceiving as people without a TV usually watch their TV content on youtube, streaming or download. How many do not have a TV but have not missed a single game of thrones ?
