I'm considering getting rid of the 62" HDTV and getting a projector system instead. I have 4 extra rooms in my house. I think one would make a great home theatre. Then again, we don't watch movies much now, because we are both busy. :shrug:

People have a lot of TV's! I have one in my living room, an LCD. I like watching TV, but sometimes I tend to get distracted by it too much when I have spare time and end up not doing other things. I know that's bad but I can't help myself!

I think that's why I only have one, I have forbidden myself from getting one in my bedroom or anywhere else, it could be dangerous, lol.

I like watching movies mainly and a few series.

While I was married we always had one in our bedroom, kids bedroom, and living room. When I moved out I bought a small one for my daughters room and a average size for the living room. My thinking was I was going to address other areas of the house and then buy a TV for my bedroom later. I never bought that third TV and I love it, and aside of maybe watching the news while I get ready for work in the morning, I don't even miss it. Unless someone later down the road moves in with me, I can't see myself ever buying another TV for my bedroom. It is so much more peaceful now.

3

big one for me and HBO

one for the kids - slightly smaller, for cartoons and Xbox

one little one in the kitchen for the nightly news as I make dinner

6, one in the masterbedroom,livingroom,den,playroom,2 in each kids room.

We have one 28" widescreen in the second livingroom and an old 14" stached in the garage, not used for the last two years.

That's one (active) tv for five people.

When we move in our new house next summer I want to get a projector and a surround sound system for the tv-lounge.

32" in the living room and 20" in the bedroom.

I spend far too much time watching them. I am thinking about trying to go a month without.

My question is how to get my GF to stop wanting to watch so many DVDs with me. I think she would be very pissed if I did this.

1 person
2 televisions
2 dvd players
4 computers 2 macs
and a partridge in a pear tree

I've got two in a one-bedroom, one-man apartment. One thirteen inch in the bedroom, and one 27 inch in the living room. This is my frist apartment, mind you, so it used to be two in the same room. The larger was the main display: secondary monitor for the computer, game consoles, vcr, whatever. Smaller was for TV, if I needed background noise and didn't want to watch on the main screen. I don't feel too guilty about being a 20-year-old with two televisions, seeing as how they're both well over 5 years old. (smaller is coax only, larger is composite only, because the coax burned out....that's why it's mine...saved it from the garbage man)

I found a TV on the street 10 years ago.
It is connected to a VHS recorder and a DVD player.
No cable - no live TV

I just watch movies.

One TV, 18 inch maybe? No cable or antenna so we don't actually watch TV on it. We have a DVD player and video game system hooked up to it.

Somehow I knew this would turn into a thread about people bragging how much they don't watch TV....

We have 2 TV's. A 27" Sony Trinitron in the Living Room, and a 19" generic in the family room.

My wife's parents have a TV in just about every room. Family room, all four bedrooms....it's horrible. They don't spend any time together. After dinner, everyone goes to a different room in the house to watch TV.

We have a 36" in our den which has cable TV hooked to it; this is the room the family sits in when we're not doing something else; where my two boys watch TV when not playing, doing school work, etc.

We have a 29" in our master bedroom also with cable hookup, wifey and mine, where my wife watches when she needs a break away from us or has something she wants to watch and the den TV is taken.

We have another 29" in the guest room/gameroom which only has a Playstation hooked to it. PS usually gets played every day more or less by my boys.

Then if you are taking a complete census, we have two fully functional TV's in the garage waiting to be thrown or taken away. One used to be my fav, a 27" Sony XBR Trinitron but nobody likes it anymore since the screen is too small, the box is too big, and it's too heavy.

My 12/29/2007 year-end update: we added a 19" widescreen LCD HDTV in the kitchen; now they all have cable connections; the one in the den now also has a Wii and an Xbox360 hooked to it.

We have two - and there are two of us (mom and me). My mom's is a console RCA, and mine is a Magnavox 19". Mine is sitting upon an old console RCA that my dad inherited from his mom when she died back in '81. She left it to him because back in the late 40's he bought my grandparents their first tv set with part of his GI bill, which was also the first one on their whole neighborhood.

He told story after story about how scads of neighbors would come and sit in their living room and watch the new tv, and the overflow would sit on the porch and watch through the front window.

Same thing when they got an actual flushing toilet..... (not the watching, hopefully, just the flushing)

It's so true, I'm in a dormroom now however at home...
82'' HD in the living room, 40'' in parents bedroom, 12'' in kitchen, 21'' in my old bedroom, 36'' in dads study, couple more lying around elsewhere.
In my dorm my roommate and I have our own TVs. So 2 TVs and 2 people, about right.
Although my parents are alone now, so many TVs seem excessive.

3 - soon to be 4.

27" (or maybe it's a 29") tv in the living room

24" (or so) in one of the kids' bedrooms

9" color tv in the basement in my workout area

We'll soon be buying a 32" HDTV for the living room and giving the older boy the 27" for his room, and the smaller 24" will go in the younger boy's room.

zero.

25 yr old male, single bedroom apt.
i dont watch much tv but it sux to not have one around.
i'm currently saving up for a 42 inch plasma and i told myself i wont spoil the dream by picking up another tv.

all the tv shows that i do like always end up on the internet 2 days after anyways.

tv- i can live without for a while

computer- you wont be able to pry it out of my cold dead hands :lol:

lets see...for the two of us we have:
51" HDTV in the living room
32" HDTV in the sunroom
19" HDTV in the bedroom
27" regular tv in the dining room.
have DVD players hooked to the two larger ones along with the surround sound and HD cable boxes.
the one in the dining room isnt even plugged in.

2 - an 19 inch that's about 15 years old and a 27 inch

0.

I don't own one.

i am amazed at how many people don't watch any tv......

I own 2, 42" plasma in my livingroom, mainly used for tv, movies and ps3, and a 17" lcd in my den. i watch about 10-20 hours a week. mostly sports and discovery channel.

1 25" tv shaped monitor for films.

i have one tv that's my own, but in my house there are 6 tv's vs 5 people

We have 3. One in every room.

Also 3 DVD players, one home theater, one blu-ray player, and two computers (which are TV capable).

4 in FL...

3 in NY...

1 - 20" in my bedroom (my daughters use it once a week to watch "Heroes") and 1 - 37" LCD HD in the living room/office/kitchen of the apartment, which is the House TV.

Five months ago, there were 5 TVs for the three of us, gave away 2 and sold 1 prior to moving here.

One 46" Sharp Aquos HDTV downstairs, one 42" Sharp Aquos HDTV upstairs (with HD-DVD player, of course).

What we lack in quantity we make up for in quality ;)

We (2 of us) have one 27" TV in the living room. We don't have cable; we use an antenna, and get about 3 or 4 fuzzy channels. (I don't watch any of them; I generally use the TV for DVDs.)

We will never have a television in the bedroom.

We do have three computers, though two of them are for work mostly.

That's right! Biggest mistake couples make.

YOU should be the only entertainment in that room.

I know this is anient history, but someone with moddy powers should still add a poll to this with the options "Less than one per person, exactly one per person, more than one per person"

I've got a 50" HD Samsung in the living room for the two of us.

And yes, Cromps and Baraka, I agree. There will never be TV in any bedroom in my house.

I have one 27" stereo tv that shows hockey, along with the occasional dvd or video game. The only reason I have cable is that it's included in my rent.

I just can't sit and watch television for hours on end. I know people do it, but it just bores me too much.

4 televisions here

1 in back room
1 in living room
1 in sons room
1 in daughters room


cheers

i dont own a TV.

i havent watched TV in nearly a year.

a friend of mine gave me his spare tv but i havent turned it on. i dont play xbox or anything like that..

ive seen one dvd movie on my laptop in the last year.. but i do watch youtube and a few other shows online..but thats few and far between.

what i miss the most if shows like friday night fights..so if i go out anywhere and its on the screen, it takes up most of my attention for that hour.

im happy to know that i enjoy my own company and i dont need other forms of entertainment to stay sane

5 people - all addicted to television

63" flat screen HD with Bose surrond system in the family room
35" in my sons room
2 25"'s, 1 in the weight room and 1 in a closet (not sure why we keep it)
1 20" flat screen in our bed room

Mornings we use the bed room tv to catch the morning news while we get ready for work. It is on cable and is occasionally watched late at night if we can not sleep.

My son only uses his for DVDs and XBox.

The family room tv is usually on if someone is home. We routinely purchase On Demand movies instead of going to the theater. I have Discovery, National Geographic or ESPN on while reading or internet surfing.

Each of us has a computer with DVD capability. We also have a DVD plaver in the SUV for out of town trips.

Same, minus the story.


Wait, the story mirrors mine in more ways than I thought before reading the first line of it. So, same...in all respects.

I have one television in my home. I rarely watch television myself so it is largely used only for watching movies.

I ditched the 19" Xbox tv a few months back... wasn't playing it and it was just taking up valuable real estate in the apartment.

Of course, when I wrote this OP, I neglected to mention that both the wife and I have dual monitor setups so there is what looks like 5 TVs in the living room.

i only have a couple of tv's about teh same size (too old so i dont remember the size) one in each of the upstairs bedrooms and one in the family room. then a smaller one in the kitchen

I just have one, a 23" LCD, and only watch a couple hours a week generally.

The trick for me is that I bought a PVR (similar to a TiVO) and record a few select shows to watch when I feel like it. I often go weeks without watching TV.

I live on my own, so I really couldnt use another.
