If you need to know, we're interested in the number of TVs that actually plugged in and on which programs can be watched. Sorry, no Mazda and no AG jokes. smile
How many TV's do you have in your house?
single choice

Wow, what do people watch that have four or more TVs? I assume you must have kids that you don't want to fight with. We only have one because there is only the two of us...

She has one to watch what she wants, mine and one in a bedroom.

We have one in our big living room, one in my bedroom, and our son has one in his little living room for video games & cartoons.

Living room, my room, kids room, basement (so I can watch while I'm on the treadmill), and one in the hubby's workshop. Would that technically count as one in the house? So maybe only 4. And the one in the kids room doesn't get any channels, it's only set up to be able to watch a DVD or video.

I only have two TVs but I have six guitar amps. If only I spent 3x as much time playing guitar as I do watching TV. wink

we're interested


who is this "we're" you speak of? And what if you have none, that isn't an option. And what if you have TVs in your car, do you want to include that? And if your car is a Mazda, and it has a TV in it, your poll is flawed (especially if you're friends with AG, he is in your Mazda watching TV, then the poll is whacked).

OK
One in the bedroom, family room, kitchen, one still in kid's room so it's hooked up to VCR for exercise tapes (like anyone's going to use it! Ha!) And...one in the office but it is the first TV we ever had and only goes up to channel 13 and no box attached so just used sparingly. Mainly we use 3 different ones.

We have four, but only two actually get used.

Anyone need a TV? You'll need a converter box....

Oh wait! That got delayed! smirk

4 here

2 in the basement (one for video games that can still be used for regular tv viewing and another one just for viewing)

1 in the living room

1 in a bedroom

personally, I don't think 4 is enough

With everything you're known to eat, I'm surprised you don't have a little one in the bathroom grin

Are we counting computers with TV tuner cards in them that are connected to cable? If so, then I'm at 8.

One 32" LCD Flat screen above the fireplace.

One 52 inch rear projection in the office/playroom.

One 13" color TV hooked up to my daughter's karaoke machine.

One ancient (1984) 13" B&W TV in the garage (which will be worthless as soon as we have the digital conversion).

Zero TVs in the bedroom.

1 tv in my room... for the kiddos cartoons before naptime (I let them nap on my huge bed.)
1 in the living room... I watch more stuff on that one from my computer (gotta love todays video cards) then the actual stations.
1 in my moms room... (yes, I live with my mom and she says that BOL is the devil!) shes disabled and although i take care of her, she hates my friends so she spends most of her time at home in her room....

I too join in the "refuse to have TVs in the bedroom" group.

Last night, I had a fire going, the little bear and I were watching cartoons. And I just turned the TV off. She was shocked at first and then we started talking about her day. It was really nice...I could be one of those "tv-less" houses...if it wasn't for the train reck Rock of Love wink
