How many TVs do you have and how much do you watch? - Page 4

I have 2. THe main one is usually on a music channel when I'm in as I miss the noise of people being in the house.
I have one in my bedroom which I bought in a fit of anger when I no longer wanted to be anywhere near the person I was living with in my flat. I watch movies on it in bed.

Two one in lounge and one in bedroom.

Watch a lot

. work shifts and hardly ever go out and do things weeknights. Although it's more films than tv.

I will sometimes put the TV on as background noise on one of the music channels but only when I'm in the house on my own; also when we've had nervous rats we've put it on even when no-one was in so they get use to different sorts of noises and don't jump or panic all the time.

It is rare that we watch a program at the time it is on - we usually record stuff and then watch it as and when.

Same with Kari and I. 1 TV in the living room and that's it. Haven't got a VCR or DVR (though plan on getting the latter when funds permit). If we miss a show, we miss a show. Main things we have on at the moment are Glee and House, and I've taken to having American Football on if I'm around at the weekend so I can keep up with my Fantasy Football stuff. Oh and the odd bit of WWE Wrestling for a laugh. That's about it.

Both of us point blank refuse to have a TV in the bedrooms. It's not conducive to a good nights sleep.

Bedroom TV will be on for about 30-45 minutes a night in bed, we'll either watch QI, or Mock The Week or Have I got News For You.

We've always said we dont watch much TV, there are no series in particular I am in to, and must watch on a weekly basis, and we hardly ever watch films.

Ditto!

I always like having the TV on for background noise, can't stand sitting in silence.

We love watching TV in bed, have been known to be in bed at 8pm on a Saturday night watching tv

May as well cuddle up in bed rather than on the sofa

But our sofa is amaaaaaaaaaaaazingly comfy, just as good as our bed, if not better

Three here, one in the lounge, one in the kitchen (small black and white job) and one in Will's room. Probably watch the tv for an hour or so a night but quite often it is a series on DVD rather than what is on tv, I do have it on for background noise sometimes while cooking but it's not really being watched.

I've gone for months before without deliberately watching anything on tv, occasionally I'd switch on but usually realise that I'm missing nothing so switch off again. I'm more likely to watch a DVD than a tv show if I've got a decent amount of time.

Hmmm..

Playroom - technically 3, but only 1 is used as a TV.
60" Plasma with SkyHD and Bluray
17" Laptop - has a TV tuner, but is not really used as freeview signal is pants, has bluray though.
24" LCD - Secondary monitor for Laptop, has freeview built in too.

Lounge - 1 - 50" Plasma with SkyHD and Bluray
Bedroom - 1 - 42" Plasma with Sky+

Have a HTPC linked to the Playroom and Lounge screens and a modded Xbox in the bedroom.

Don't watch that much on TV - the other half does. Stuff like Bones, NCIS, Lie to Me... I'm mainly Top Gear, F1, A1GP - but mainly it's DVD's and Bluray though.

Dymetrie · 16-10-2009, 19:51

We have a single 20" CRT in the lounge.

It's not on all the time and is most often used when we (Mrs Dym) wants to watch something or when we use it as the output for my mediabox to watch something that has been aquired...

That is all.

Just one in the living room.

I have been known to take my macbook into the bathroom and stream something from my iTunes library if I'm having a really long bath though

Dymetrie · 16-10-2009, 20:38

Soaps seem to be a different matter...

I just said something wrong about Corrie...

I got told!
