How many TV's are in your home?

2 TVs...a 42 inch HD Plasma in the living room and a 22 inch HD LED in the bed room.
2 phones...a Verizon cell and a SafeLink cell (via the US government due to my wife's disability status).
2 Puters.....mine, my wife's, and the old laptop we keep as a back up (and I use it for MDL tweaks since it is running XP as the OS).

We have a 2003 model 32" old-school CRT Panasonic TV in the living room - that's it.
In the computer room (a.k.a. man cave) we have a working but not used 19" Magnavox (remember them?) sitting on top of a dead 25" Zenith console. I know that sounds like one of those Jeff Foxworthy "You might be a redneck if..." qualifiers but the console is a b*tch to move so it has remained where it died.

Here´s your shock for today: 1 TV, small (20") and not connected at all
Only used for watching movies (DVDs) ocasionally. All the news I get is via radio or livestream and websites.
I´m soo old skool I hardly believe it myself, I enjoy reading or music so much more I really consider hanging in front of the TV for hours a waste of time...

Four TV's :
27" LXI-CRT(remember those-My Dad brought it at ? Sears ? early 90's (still works !)
27" JVC-CRT I would guess is 13-14 years old (Still works!)
32" Samsung LCD Flat Screen HD-720p
50" Sony XRD(this is actually a Projection TV with the flat screen out front although it
has 1080p capability . Not a bad picture though but thinking of giving it to a relative
and springing for the newer Samsung LED(not the 3D) . I could probably pick one up
for what I paid for the Sony which is probably 5 or 6 years old . My Son has a 42"
Samsung-LCD 120 Hz and the picture is outstanding .
Six phones
Yep , times have changed . I remember the days my brother and I had to sit practically in front of the TV to see the screen(3 channels) and then my Dad would bitch because he couldn't see the screen . (Gunsmoke our favorite)

We've had three for many years and over the last two and a half have replaced the two big tube ones (got over 15 years out of those) with on-sale flat screens (be lucky to get half that). The third is a small under cabinet flip down in the kitchen (the envy of my richer relatives who wish they knew how I found it and how little we paid for it)

In the 'Bunker', one that is visible from the Moon, one in the 'Office' and one in the lounge area.
And I suppose I should include the one in the 'Bike Shop' ........... must keep up with all the Motorsport!
:ernae:
Phones?
One 'Mobile' for me and one for Sofie and 'Our' Satphone.
Home phones, IIRC around six wireless [it's a big house on three levels] ....... and two Desktop Puters [mine], plus two 'Airbooks' [one each.]
Not that we get much 'TV' time, or quality come to think of it.

1 27" WS TV but no cable or satellite, it just picks up the local digital signals on a home-made antenna and is only really used to watch DVDs.
4 computers (2 on my desk, 1 on my wife's, 1 in my daughter's bedroom).
2 phones (1 desk phone, 1 portable).
No cell phone or tablets.

I live in the lower level of my sister's house, here on Sanibel Island. But I've set up my apartment as a "man cave". All the electronic "creature comforts" I need:
Ceiling-mounted DLP projector, with a 6 ft by 8 ft drop down wall screen. The DLP projector is connected to my computer. I watch movies, do flight simulation, email etc....all on the big screen.
Surround sound system: 2 Bose shelf speakers in front, along with a Klipsch center speaker, and Subwoofer. There are two Mirage speakers mounted on the wall in the rear of my apartment.
I have a 22" LCD tv mounted on a swivel arm bracket, so I can watch movies from my bed (murphy style bed). My dvd player has Netflix installed on it, and I watch movies, wirelessly.
I have a cordless phone, connected to my sister's land line. There are 3 cordless phones upstairs.
Upstairs, my sis has a: 60", and two 42" Samsung tvs.
Yep, plenty of entertainment!
