In 2010, there will be more TVs in the U.S. than people.

We have four. How many do you have?

How many places do you guys watch TV?

We actually only watch one of our two TV's. Anyone want to buy a 35" CRT (or was it 32")?

The picture is fine and out sets are not new, flat, or HD.

We only recieve about 6 channels, though. CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox(sometimes) and a couple of different PBS stations.

I refuse to purchase and mount a rooftop device so this is what we'll have to get used to viewing. We are using HD rabbit ears.

Just about anything and any show is accessible via the Internet so I'm not too concerned about missing anything major.

Saving close to $80.00 a month.

One.

And when it finally dies, it won't be replaced.

2. 42" LCD in family room and very old 21" CRT in study. I'd like an excuse to replace the CRT. We will never have TVs in bedrooms, kitchen, living room, bathroom. The only other rooms where I will permit a TV are (if we had these rooms) guest suite, exercise room, laundry room. We do have cable, get voice and data on cable too.

At the lake, just one in the family room
At school, one in the living room and one in each of the two bedrooms

No TV here. It is good for everyone in the family, especially the kids.

One in the living room, one in the office, one in the garage. I was watching the Le Mans race on Saturday while tinkering on my cars. I had to watch it real time in the garage. I recorded the late night parts of the race and watched that Sunday in the office. My wife watched her house hunters stuff in the living room. If it were not for Speed, Science Channel, Nat Geo, Discovery & Military Channel I would not even have cable.

I watch the History channel some. I just bothers me that they spend so much programming on Ghost Hunters, UFOs, and other 100% BS shows. It makes it hard to believe anything else they do when they can have an entire day devoted to UFOs.

I cannot stand the sports shows that are just opinions or just talking heads. I do watch the Comedy Channel and Sci-Fi on occasion.

Three TVs (that I use). One in the living room, one in the bedroom and one in my office. Two more stashed away in storage. Oh, I live alone!

Don't really watch it much, just put it on to have some noise in the house.
