How many TVs do you have in your house?

[LE19]

We have 2 TVs, but are doing our bit to reduce the child/TV problem by not having any kids.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

42inch HD LCD on the wall telly in room next to kitchen - designated the 'Playroom'
36inch old style Widescreen Toshiba in lounge
Small TV / DVD combo in our bedroom
TV /DVD Combo in guest bedroom in the loft

 

[Norman Potting]

Interesting results, we have only one telly in the house but the smaller Pottings both have iPods which they use as tellies via iPlayer, haven't heard any moans since regarding "why can't we have a TV in our rooms". Seeing as the ITV equivalent to iPlayer seems to be virtually useless they only watch the BBC!

1 in lounge, bedroom and study. Everywhere else I use the ipad as a TV if I want to watch something.


I don't agree with TVs in kids room until they are way older than mine 4 and 8 currently.

7
one in each bedroom,one in the lounge and one in the gym.

47" led lg 3d in living room, 19" Tecnika LCD DVD combi in our bedroom. 9 year old son wants a tv in his room but we have said no (so far)

 

[Guinness Boy]

Two. 32" in the front room, small (15" flatscreen) one in the kitchen/diner which I mainly use to make sure I have football on in the background on a Sunday when I'm making a roast. It doesn't really get turned on at all apart from that. Both kids (5 and 2) have limits on their screen time but I don't agree with the report's suggestion that under 3's have no TV at all. It's fine in small doses like most things in life. I would say little one's colour and number recognition has been helped by programmes like Team Umizoomi while, after a recent episode of The Lingo Show they started shouting the Mandarin Chinese for bus at each other!

 

[Questions]

5 but that can be 6 when I take my iPad to then shithouse when the football is on.


And how can you only have 1 in the house ? What if you want to watch different things.
Sod that.

TV Catchup covers all the freeview channels in ipods etc. Works pretty well.

6, 5 downstairs and 1 upstairs.

Is there anyone (like a charity) that can use analogue CRT televisions or should I just take them to the tip

 

[fataddick]

None. Binned it in 2000. Didn't see the point and still can't. Half the people I know have binned their TVs and the other half spend most of their time moaning about how rubbish everything on TV is these days. If that's the point, why bother? It's about as logical as keeping a cow as a pet and then complaining that your house smells of cowshit.

2. 1 in the lounge and one in my autistic son's bedroom - he has had one since very young as he finds it extremely therapeutic - he once told us that his videos were his friends.

 

[Giraffe]

4. One in living room, one in ours and one in each of the kids, although one of them never uses hers as it's just freeview. So I'm counting that as 3.5 really

I have HDMI 4 points throughout the house with a distributor/amplifier in the loft. All runs from the Sky+ box or Blu-Ray player. Similarly we put in RF points with infra red 'eyes' in all the same places, a distributor in the loft, so now we can use the Sky remote wherever we are watching (Lounge, Kitchen, Dining Room, Bedroom).

Initially we used cheap HDMI cable (over 50m of it), they all had to be made up to the correct length, but the cheap leads didn't work, signal kept dropping/freezing/blocking. We had been advised not to use the cheap stuff, but bowed to the opinion of those who say there is no difference between a cheap and an expensive HDMI lead. Anyway, we then coughed up for quality/expensive HDMI cabling and now we have lovely 1080 HDTV & Blu-Rays all over.

 

[Mister Mix]

1 in kitchen
1 in lounge
1 in cinema room
1 in games room
1 in the bathroom
1 in the jacuzzi
1 in each bedroom x 6
