As for the kitchen, it keeps me company while preparing a meal. Or, in the morning as I’m getting coffee and lunch ready for work, I listen to the news.
Has someone said they have one in the bathroom?
One of ours is. :o The husband likes to watch it while he sits in a hot bath.
If I had one in the kitchen, I’d probably lop off a finger or set the place on fire.
We have one biggish one in the sitting room, and there’s one in the bedroom that gets used occasionally to watch the news in the morning. There are two others sitting around taking up space, but they’re not plugged in and I don’t know if they work. I keep meaning to take them to the recycling place but not getting round to it. They’re not linked up to the satellite anyway. We have Sky, but to have a TV in this country you have to have a TV licence.
The one in the sitting room is pretty much on in the evenings; when I’m home by myself, it’s usually on one of the food channels or the news while I’m using the internet, and then we watch things together when my partner gets home. Though we do switch it off quite often in despair at the lack of anything good, and read a book together instead. In the mornings it’s always the news while we eat breakfast - always the BBC.
2? 3? 5?
Two TVs plugged in. One in our living room, one in my parents’ suite.
1 TV sitting in a closet.
Two computers with TV/cable tuners.
One TV and one computer are regularly watched, usually by 2 people.
Usually only one at a time are on, but if my parents are staying with us, they may be watching TV in their end of the house.
It’s just SpouseO and I, and we have one TV. We generally watch together, and if one of us doesn’t like the program, we’ll ask the other if it’s OK to watch something else (it almost always is).
In summer, we watch maybe an hour of TV or so a night - instead, we’ll be outside working or chilling on the patio. (Which, to be fair, once a week or so includes watching something on the computer, usually QI or somesuch. So that should count in my total, I guess.) Weekends we’ll often watch movies on Sundays.
In winter, TV/movie consumption goes way up. Probably 3ish hours a night then.
I don’t love the thought of having a TV in our bedroom (and indeed, currently we don’t), but I’ll admit it was sorta nice when I had one in my bedroom in college. Still, not nice enough to encourage the practice now. Hell, on winter weekends we’re sometimes lucky to make it down to the rec room where the TV is for all-day watching; it’d be even worse should the tube be in the bedroom!
