One, and since anolog signals are no more, it is only used for watching DVDs. Spends most of the time unplugged.

One 40"? in the family room.

One 20"? in our daughters room.

Had one tube type in our son's room, but it broke last week.

Garage
Two bedrooms, upstairs game room, kitchen, living room, and garage.

I couldn't fall asleep as a kid and it drove me insane. It may not be the best thing to do, but I put a TV in my son's room at an early age because of what I remember as a kid.

We have a DVR in our bedroom, the living room, and the garage. It's rare that we watch something that's not recorded unless it's a sporting event or something we planned to watch.

Why don't you guys with older TVs get the cheap and readily available digital converters?

4 TV's.

52" Sony LCD in the main living room dpwnstairs,
40" Sony LCD in the kids' playroom upstairs,
Older LG CRT in my bedroom upstairs,
Very old Sony CRT in the entertainment area which is separate from the main house. When it dies, I'll buy a 32" Sony LCD to replace it.

Three. 42" LCD in family room. 19" CRT in study, would like to replace with LCD. 13" CRT in bedroom, I'd like to banish TV from that room but apparently I don't have much say.

1 in the living room(antenna most watched), 1 in the loft(DVD/VCR only), 1 in our bedroom(wifey watches it, I can't do tv in bed), 1 in our son's room(DVD/VCR only so that he can watch a movie HE likes without his sister complaining about how much she DOESN'T want to watch the same one).

Not one is an LCD/plasma/HD16879934 or whatever the heck they are called.


Just don't care enough to spend the money on one. They'll startshowing up at rummages soon anyway.

They accumulate because the things seem indestructible and aren't used a whole lot.

- Living room (47in / Phillips / 2008)
- Office (27in / Sony / 1994)
- Soon to be game room (26in / Magnavox / 1992)
- Bedroom (13in / Hitachi / 1982)

edit: kinda morbid but I just realized I have the last two only because family members died. The only one I actually bought is the one in the living room.

We do the same thing.

We have three. Den, Basement, MBR.

I like to watch specific programs, when I want to watch them.
