how many TVs do you have?
And where are they? I was driving into work this am and heard a uVerse commercial talking about recording 4 different programs and being able to see them in the kitchen, bedroom, etc. How many freaking tv sets do people have?

I only have two. One in the living room, one in the bedroom to watch the news at night.
It's insane where people have tv's now. They are freaking everywhere! My parents have only had two tv's my entire life, so I don't quite understand the complex. Now computer's are a different story.

One. I live in loft with a bedroom, a bathroom, and then one big room... it's in the big room. No TV in my bedroom, not now, not ever.

Are we speaking only of traditional TV's? Then I have just 1 in the study.
But I do at various times watch TV on my Ipod, net-book, phone and various laptop and desktop PC's. I spend about 30-45 minutes a day on average watching various news and movies. Some times weeks go by without any TV time at all.

2. One is in the bedroom, and has been turned on for probably a total of an hour in the last year. It's not even HD! We're considering getting Uverse and having pay TV for the first time in years (probably a decade for me). Mostly for Speed and the World Cup...and because I want more than 1Mbps internet.

We have a rather large 5 bdrm home and have 2 TVs. The main TV is a rear projection 60" unit that's in the downstairs family room. The second is an old 27" tube TV that exists for PS2 and Wii and lives upstairs in kids loft area.
We know folks who have a TV in every bedroom, the garage, and kitchen. Crazy. |

One 46" LCD in the living room.
For the rest of the house I have a different type of High Definition - it's called real life. -Z

Too big to fail

I have one, but it's analog, so it's useless, as I don't subscribe to a cable service.

Living room and bedroom.
But where the 4 would be good is when you've got 2 kids, a 10 yo, a 15 yo, and mom and dad. That way you can have MTV TRL, barney, football and desperate housewives all going at once (or whatever fits...)

I have a strict "no tv or computers in the bedroom" policy. We have one TV, we watch DVDs, F1, Food Network, Military Channel, and Palladia. The other visual diversion in the apartment are laptops (though those have time limits for the boy). Beyond that, there is a keyboard/synthesizer, a drum kit, and art supplies (currently he's into origami). And lots of books (for the boy - he is a voracious reader).

DSL is limited by location
I'm stuck at 1 here, 3 at the new house. Uverse has 12 (I think) for the same price as my current 1...
