How many TV's do you have in your place of residence?

[windjammer]

7 televisions.

1 in the family room/den.
4 in the four bedrooms.
1 in the kitchen.
1 outdoors.

Have you sleeping problems?

[Oakvale]

My parents have one. I don't use it, though.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

1, which I don't use.

[Oak Hills]

One.

[angus]

4, but only 3 get watched.

There's one on the first floor that gets most of the action.  It's a mammoth flat screen.  It has cable and a dvd player and a vhs player on it.  Also, we connect it to the computer to watch illegally-downloaded movies from time to time.  It also serves as our primary babysitter.  

There's one in the master bedroom which is an old-style 25-inch CRT.  It has cable as well and it gets watched regularly by me.  Mostly Ancient Aliens and TCM.  

There's one in the pink room which has cable and a dvd player connected to it.  It gets watched from time to time, especially if my son is watching a dvd downstairs and I want to watch one.

There's a fourth one in the basement that sees very little action.  It has a cable connection that I hook up if we're hiding down in the basement.  It doesn't really come up often here like it did when we lived in tornado alley.  Around here, if we're in the basement, then were probably playing ping pong or fetching a bottle of wine, rather than hiding out from a tornado and watching the weather channel.

These days we spend more time in front of the computers than in front of the TVs.  Society seems to be growing more and more isolated.  My parents had no TV till they were teens.  They actually talked to each other for entertainment.  When I was a small child, we had one.  We watched it, but because we had only one, we were still forced into talking to each other once in a while.  By the time I was about 12 years old, we had several TVs, and then we never even needed to talk to each other except to ask who has the remote.  Now, my son grows up in a world where his house has more TVs than people, and more internet-connected computers than people.  He doesn't have to put up with interpersonal communication at all.

On the other hand, the Internet means that we all communicate with each other.

1, which I don't use.

[FEMA Camp Administrator]

0 in my dorm, 2 in my family's current house that are in use, and the fraternity house where I plan to live has an indeterminate amount. Should probably get one over the summer so I can have my own stuff, y'know?

[MadmanMotley]

Three, only one is really used that often though, and it's a 27" CRT.

[Del Tachi]

7 televisions.

1 in the family room/den.
4 in the four bedrooms.
1 in the kitchen.
1 outdoors.

Have you sleeping problems?

The one in the kitchen is hardly ever used, its a small TV from the late 1990s that easily fits on the countertop.  Each bedroom in my house, save for the guest room, has a television, and my parents are fond with sleeping with their turned-on but the one in my room is rarely used.  The outdoor one is in our pavilion and its only used for social functions we hold in the warmer months, like an engagement party for my cousin that we threw last summer.   

[Queen Mum Inks.LWC]

One.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

0 or 1 depending upon whether you count the TV that is only hooked up to my NES and SNES.

[Badger]

312. I live large.

[politicallefty]

Including both ones hooked up and in storage, I think it's 7. Four are hooked up and of those, 3 are in regular use. TV helps me sleep, provided the volume is low, of course.

Ha! Every time this question gets asked, the responses are typically either:

A) Posters who have none and are damn proud that they don't watch any TV (or one that they "never use")

or

B) Posters who have an insane amount and want to brag about it ... seven, eight or more

[Supersonic]

Four. Three in the bedrooms, one in the lounge.

312 would be funny, except that fewer than ten percent of the respondents in this poll are outside the range 1-4.  And if you look at the posts, most are posting that they have 1, 2, 3, or 4 of them.  Very few are saying that they have zero or that they have five or more. 

What's nice is that no one has said "between one and four (normal)"  I can't remember the last poll where posters didn't feel the need to put "(normal)" after their posts.  It's very refreshing.

I wouldn't consider myself proud about my lack of TV watching.  It's more a case of being frugal than being snobbish about what's on the tube.

Now if I want to brag, I can brag about my phones.  In my current one bedroom apartment I have five separate phones hooked into my landline,  I inherited a few from mom, including my Western Electric rotary desk phone.  (Actually it was originally grandma's, but I digress.)  While I wouldn't have bought that many to fit into my current space, it is convenient to never be more than a step or two away from a phone when it rings (unless I happen to be in the bathroom).

Land ... line? What is this land-based line of which you speak?

[DC Al Fine]

2. One in my parents' room and one in the rec room.

1.

Honestly, I don't really see the point of us owning one though - my family has a bunch of online streaming websites available anyway, like Netflix and Amazon Prime.

I like Netflix on a big screen

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Two, but only one is plugged in.  The other is a smaller screen I keep because it is a VHS player.
