    Margo!! it's you again!! :)
    We have gotten rid of TV stuff..no more watching TV in bed. it's bad for sleep. Got rid of cable, nothing on and too expensive. We watch Netflix :) and PBS mostly so the TV is in the living room. it's an older one too so when it goes the cabinet is going to be "converted" to a liquor cabinet, hopefully :) it's a nice cabinet we bought especially because it has legs (old house, yada yada :))
    this is too much info, isn't it? :)

      Love watching tv in bed.. So comfy & warm!
    • 12 years ago
      We have one tv in the living room--a large flat panel. We are watching more and more tv via internet (apple tv) and may eventually ditch the cable expense in favor of the apple tv/on demand only option. I used to have a tv in the bedroom and enjoyed falling asleep that way, but now that I'm with someone else, we prefer to keep the bedroom a place for sleeping.

      We have 5 TV's and the one in the kitchen is on the most. We added a lounge chair where we can relax and be close to snacks and our favorite adult beverages.

      One TV-in our living room. Contemplating ditching cable & watching via Internet. Trying to read more, watch less!

      I love to watch TV in our bedroom! It's comfy, we look forward to TV time at night!
    • 12 years ago
      We have 4. One in the den, one in our bedroom, a small one in the kitchen and one in the guest bedroom.
    • 12 years ago
      We have 2 tvs and our favorite spot is in our living room.
    • 12 years ago
      Two in our house. Mine in the lounge off of the kitchen, and my husband's in his man cave. Separate TVs = happy marriage!

      one in livingroom and bedroom
    • 12 years ago

    • 12 years ago
      We have 3: bedroom, great room, office. We can see the great room TV from the kitchen, so no need there
    • 12 years ago
      My favorite place is definitely the bedroom! Looking at 55 inches of HD TV, especially when watching aerial views of America, and Nature/Animal. Awesome!
    • 12 years ago
      Unfortunately my favorite place is the bedroom. I do program it to turn off in an hour.
    • 12 years ago
      Our favorite place is the living room...biggest set, closest to the kitchen, and comfortable seating =)
    • 12 years ago
      No. 1for me since it is tucked away in TV room. Nicely done.
    • 12 years ago
      I have zero TVs. Anything I need to watch on "TV," I watch on my iMac. There may be a TV in my future, but it will be just for watching movies, because they're better on a bigger screen.
    • 12 years ago
      In our new home with a large basement and surround sound and leather L-Shaped couch. Very simple. All that's needed is Nachos, chili and a cold beer. Oh, and don't forget about great friends.
    • 12 years ago
      I have 4, and the fave place to watch is the bedroom.
    • 12 years ago
      My favorite place was the discovering that I am able to view the wall mounted TV from the pool area at with the addition of a couple of outdoor speakers! Unplanned, spectacular!
    • 12 years ago
      we have 3 one in the kitchen one in the sitting room and one in the computer room
    • 12 years ago
      More than 5! Guilty!
    • 12 years ago
      We have one TV and it's in our family room. That is where we spend most of our time.
    • 12 years ago
      One in the family room and one in a den.
    • 12 years ago
      I don't watch much tv, so I love the DVR and like to watch a couple of shows from my cozy bed right before sleep. It allows me to rid my daily thought and stress, relax, and go right to sleep at the end.
    • 12 years ago
      We have 2, 1 in the bedroom and 1 in the family room. My favorite place to watch would be in my cozy bed.
    • 12 years ago
      One for us. Thinking of getting a second one for the bedroom. I'm resisting it (beds are for sleeping and other fun things not tv viewing) but we keep falling asleep in the living room so.... Yeah. May be time to relent!

      Well, I would have to say my living room. I try to avoid the habit of late night TV watching in my bedroom. It kind of screws with my biological clock.
    • 12 years ago
      We have 9 tv's, it is very sad to think how many we have. I even will watch some tv on my iPad, ( I was whining to my husband that I don't have a tv in my bathroom while I get ready in the morning) I have one in the kitchen, I have one in the bar while I do my oil painting and I have one in every other room. Big ones too. I was being ridiculous. I told him I was sorry.
    • 12 years ago
      Smart TV over the fireplace in the family room...cozy room where we can all hang as a family and watch a movie... or watch YouTube videos and laugh and dance together.
    • 12 years ago
      I like five. as I think this is brilliant idea to get the full enjoyment of nature and TV.
    • 12 years ago
      One in the living room. One in the den. One in master bedroom (that only gets watched when hubby is out at sea). One dedicated old one that only plays Between the Lions tapes. Two that only get game use.

      Family Room/Living is my favorite place - curled up on the couch with a blanket and a glass of wine. :-)

      I have one tv only and it is in our living room. I wished I had a family room too because that's where the tv would go.
    • 12 years ago
      I love watching TV in my TV room. I use one of my bedrooms upstairs as a 'den.' It's so cozy in there with the comfy couch and the large screen. I much prefer keeping the TV out of the living room or at least under cover in there.
    • 12 years ago
      My favourite place to watch TV is in bed.
    • 12 years ago
      We have only ever had one TV and it has always been in the living room ( except for the four years we lived in a small apartment, when the TV was in our bedroom due to the cable access...hated that). Like many others commenting, we have gone to streaming and Netflix, but still enjoy the cosy evening spent watching movies with my dear husband.

      Kids watch in the basement. Husband and I watch in the family room/den. We have one in master bedroom too but it is really only used so I can watch the news before I go to bed at night.
    • 12 years ago
      We have 4 TVs. But only the one in the living room is on every night and its on either NCIS, FOX news, or USA, FOOD, ESPN, HGTV networks. We have one that my husband takes to the Garage on weekends so he can work on his Model A and watch OSU, OU, and NASCAR. We record most shows so we can manage our time.
    • 12 years ago
      There is no category for me. I own ZERO TVs. I am saving it for when I am old and worn out from all the fun I am having now! LOL...(really, I'm just too cheap to pay for cable).
