At the last count, 5 TVs, 5 games consoles, 3 DVD players, 5 PCs, 2 Sky+ boxes, 1 VCR (don't think this is plugged in) and I think we are about to get another TV.... I  do own lots of books to compensate for this madness ;-) There are some great programmes on TV if you can filter out the 99.99% dross. I must be living in Andy TV hell..

I can't imagine things the other way 'round. Not criticizing anyone, just sayin'.

I can think of three things I watch on TV - Parkinson (sadly no more), House MD and Rugby Union Internationals.I do watch DVD's which either play on my laptop, or the 24" screen on the desktop. So I'm not completely TV free, but each weekend reminds me of why I don't need one !!!! - the strangest thing thou is when friends come round, they tend not to notice I don't have a TV, but they do comment on how 'peaceful' the house is and comment on how easy is it to sit and chat, the observant ones then realise the sofa's are laid out facing each other rather than all pointing into corner of the room.

A little over 2 years ago we had two tv's in our house. Now, in the house atleast, we have 6 tv's (well, 7, technically..) 1.2 in every room! That being said, i'm in the UK studying, and don't have one there... :-D I think that evens it out. I am surprised, but then I found my situation.

Been reading 'Take a Break' have we. LOL. Actually good for you mate. I have to own up to having 4 TV's in my humble abode. However, only the one in the kitchen has an aerial.  I watch about three programmes a week on it while I do the ironing. The rest are for Playstation or DVD use only. I have been unsuccessful in getting my boys to leave the PS alone. I am constantly shocked at how few books people read though, how do they get by without books? My idea of hell.

A good early morning laugh! I rather admire you for this to be honest. I couldn't do it though as I enjoy my movies - and that, and NFL football, is mainly what mine gets used for. I used to know a guy who kept his small portable TV in its delivery box. That way, he claimed, it was such a pain to use that he only bothered when it was something he seriously wanted to watch. Ah!
