<p>We’ve also never had a video game unit so haven’t needed a TV for those either</p>
<p>We do have intellivision someplace in the basement-.
( I also still have older D’s color classic with ::::countem:::::: ** 8 mb RAM** !)</p>
<p>Two in our house. We use the one in the family room for a couple of hours each evening (well, a bit more than that this election season). We have a basic satellite that gets lots of UK free to air programming plus AFN which has some programming from the major US networks, but most of the series are a season behind.</p>
<p>The TV in D’s bedroom hasn’t been on since she left in August. It has a DVD but no cable or satellite connection. H used to go down to her room with a DVD whenever D used to have all her friends over to watch movies in the family room, since we’re an old-fashioned no boys in the bedroom kind of family. </p>
<p>Our two girls are seven years apart, and we didn’t have a TV at all until the younger one was around five.</p>
<p>We have 6. I know we are TV addicts.
1 in playroom/den–is the largest and the one with the game systems.
1 in kitchen–is used during all kitchen chores and is usually turned to financial or news
1 in living room–probably hasn’t been watched in a year
1 in study–where my computer is and often has on news while I read message boards ;).
1 in MBR–where I prefer to watch night time TV
1 in youngest kid’s bedroom as he is the only one that lives at home occasionally.</p>
<p>We have three: 20-year-old, no cable connection, used for video games and watching movies during sleepovers, up in the playroom; 5-year-old main TV with cable, DVD, VCR, different game system, etc., in the living room; sweet little (and i mean little) flat-screen TV/DVD in front of my rowing machine in the bedroom. Not hooked up to cable; only used for watching DVDs while i row. That one’s my favorite. :D</p>
<p>We have a flat screen in the family room. We don’t have cable, but we have an antenna hooked to the family room TV so we get a handful of stations - more than enough! Mainly, it gets the digital broadcast of House on Tuesdays at 8 just fine. What else could I need? H also uses it to watch movies.</p>
<p>We also have an old-fashioned, tiny TV my parents gave us years ago, because my dad loved to watch TV, so we had it in the guest room. Now it is in the master bedroom, where H has been using it to copy old VHS home movies onto DVD.</p>
<p>We have one in the living room. We don’t watch any TV shows regularly at the moment. We also don’t have cable and uninstalled the black box for HD which we got to watch the Olympics - it improved the picture, but also made us lose the signal so much it wasn’t worth watching.</p>
<p>Now the real question is how many computers we have. When Mathson is home - we have three desktops, four laptops (one is the cute little xo) and a couple of antique pieces and old laptops.</p>
<p>Six. We are not big TV watchers at all (present week an exception for the World Series!) . But sometimes it’s just a matter of convenience to have a set in a given room if something is on and you don’t want to drop everything else to see it. We never allowed the kids to have TV sets in their bedrooms, though. We currently have one in the family room, a set in the kitchen, one in the office, one in the MBR, one in the guest bedroom and one in the basement playroom.</p>
<p>Wow, some people have really big houses 
to fit more than one TV! Just kidding. We have one, but a really big one, in the family room. The current 50-something inch projection LCD Sony replaced the old Sony set we had for 15 years. We like to watch movies, so a big screen was a must for us. H wanted to get one for the bedroom wall, but I thought a framed painting was a better fit. We really do not need more than one TV because out TV tastes are very similar, and generally, there is rarely more than one good show to watch at any given time. Most of the time, there is nothing good at all.</p>
<p>Computers are a different story - at the moment we have four laptops and two dinosaur desktops in the house (one has Windows 98).</p>
<p>We have 5 TVs. One in out living room, one on the third floor for our older girls , or for playstation and Wii ( can’t stand ha stuff in the living room )
One in our daughter’s room that usually only gets used for when she has guests sleeping over, One in stepdaughter’s room because she is afraid of the dark and is accustomed to sleeping with the tv on all night. We also have one in out bedroom, but it really doesn’t get used. In out old house, we would watch tv in bed. , but where the cable is in our bedroom would make it impossible to watch while in bed.</p>
<p>Clarification here…we don’t need a second TV in our kitchen because our kitchen/family room is one very large room and our one TV can easily be seen and heard from the kitchen.</p>
<p>Four: living room, office, kitchen, master bedroom. None in the kids’ rooms, no cable, none bigger than 27". They all get used quite a bit. I’m a TV addict and fall asleep to it every night.</p>
<p>We have one TV. We bought it in August because our old one broke (we bought the old one in 1985.) We have never purchased cable or satellite, and we only receive PBS, CBS, and NBC. We use the TV primarily to watch DVDs on Saturday nights.</p>
<p>Kitchen/Family Room - I watch The Weather Channel while coffee is brewing in the morning. I DO NOT put on the morning news…the campaigns have become so heated that H has started talking back to the television. I need to be awake for a couple of hours before I can handle that.</p>
<p>Den - We converted an old screened porch into a year-round space some years ago and this is where we do most of our viewing. I LOVE this room. It is a tiny space with windows all around and a view into the woods. When it is snowing you feel like you are outside. If we ever buy a little flat screen it will be put in here. </p>
<p>MBR - I fought against a television in the bedroom. It is on for ten minutes in the morning and ten minutes at night as we watch (what else?) The Weather Channel. Occasionally we watch the first few minutes of Letterman before turning out the light.</p>
<p>Basement - In the dungeon of the house we keep an ancient Sony that just won’t die. I usually catch the news when I am on the treadmill.</p>
<p>No apologies here ;)<br>
We have 3 in our house. 1 in the living room, 1 in our bedroom and 1 in DS bedroom (which very seldom ever gets turned on).
DH wants to look at new ones but I refuse - I already get elevated BP when paying the Comcast bill I refuse to pay extra for digital/HDTV no matter HOW great the picture!!</p>
<p>Why?? DH & I have very different viewing interests.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You aren’t missing a darn thing. I have eight billion channels and find that most of the time there is nothing of consequence on…at the moment I am getting a good deal for my cable package but as soon as the “promotion” is over I am going back to basic.</p>
<p>Just one, in the family room. We don’t watch it much (though lately we do watch it more to keep up on the election).</p>
<p>We do have a full-fledge movie theatre it came with the house and H installed the projector etc), and we watch movies 1-2 times a week.</p>
<p>We have two. But we almost never watch the one in our bedroom.</p>
<p>We also have a “theatre room” (it’s really just an extra bedroom) with a projector and a very large screen, but we only use it for watching movies.</p>
<p>One, in the family room; no cable. It’s not on during the school week (well, sometimes on Sunday evenings for Masterpiece). On weekends we sometimes rent a DVD; during this past summer we subscribed to Netflix and watched TV series – all without commercial interruption, and that has pretty much spoiled us.</p>
<p>We have two, both 27", no flat screen. Basic cable only. One is in the kitchen, one is in the family room. Kitchen TV defintiely gets the most use. We have a DVD and PS-2 downstairs with the other TV, but the PS is seldom used. We use the downstairs TV for Netflix and have dinner and a movie as a family.</p>
<p>No TVs or computers in kids’ rooms. Two desktops and a laptop in the home office, plus DH has a work-issued laptop.</p>
<p>Now that I have all of my sewing stuff in S1’s bedroom, I kind of miss having a TV while I work. Used to work at the kitchen table with all of my fabric, machines, etc. and watch football, L&O, House, etc. S’s room was wired for cable by the previous residents; don’t know if moving a TV in there would work, and don’t think I want to find out.</p>
<p>None that get cable or broadcast. We have one set in the living room connected to a DVD/VCR for watching movies. We just decided about 15 years ago that life is too short to spend it watching other people pretending to have a life. </p>
<p>Now that we have a houseful of boys, I’m very thankful we did that - when there is a movie on - they are <em>totally</em> absorbed. I think if we watched TV regularly no one would ever get anything done. Instead, they read, do sports, work on projects, write novels, go places, talk, all sorts of things.</p>
