Televisions

[Moesha]

It's just me here, and I have 2. One in the living room and one in the bedroom. Some evenings the tv doesn't come on until I turn QVC on in the bedroom to help me fall asleep. My sister and her husband and another married friend each only have 1 tv in their respective homes. I often comment that I don't know how they can stand that, especially since I know the crazy things the husbands like to watch.

We only have one and I'm using it as a computer monitor. We do have a projector too but the only thing we watch is Netflix, lol.

I have two. The one in the living room goes on when I get up and stays on all day till I go to bed. I can't stand to hear other people in the halls, etc. The one in the bedroom is for when kitties and I want to snuggle and watch movies, it doesn't have cable but is connected to the DVD player.

Out of curiosity, for those of you who keep the TV on for the noise factor, have you considered just keeping a radio playing instead? I bet it would save you a TON in terms of electricity usage!

A caveat: Dad is a stationary engineer (retired) - in other words, one of the people who keeps power plants going. So we were raised to consider electricity usage, and conserving when we could!

I have just one TV in the house.

I do like some 'noise,' and usually am happy with the radio on -- better yet, the CDs, no commercials! (No stupid DJ jokes, either, ha haa).

Working TVs, just 1. Non-working 2 or 3. lol

I have one TV but no TV service. I have a VCR (remember those?) and a DVD player hooked up to it.

I like listening to radio - I actually have a stereo component system and still need to figure out how to get the radio sound happening. CDs - no problem. Radio - the volume levels move so there is sound, but it's not reaching the speakers!

That's a good point! I make sure to turn off lights when I'm not in a room, and I even turn off the TV during the night.

If I'm not on my computer for half an hour, I put it on "sleep", and if I'm away for longer, I shut down.

Somehow and for some reason, the radio just doesn't cut it.

The one t.v. that I have on most of the day is in the living room on the wall opposite my computer, so if I'm on the computer, I'm always turning around to see what's going on with the t.v. I don't have it only for noise - I watch it too! As for the one in my bedroom - when I go to bed I set the timer - usually for 2 hours - so it shuts off and doesn't run all night.

I have a tv in the livingroom and one in the bedroom. I seldom watch tv, except when I go to bed and then I turn the timer on to shut it off.

Having had surgery recently and being nearly bedridden the first week I've had my fill of Animal Planet! Still turn it on in the evening and lay around in bed but then I'm not back to work yet.

As for the noise factor, I work in a noisy factory so when I get home from work, silence is golden some days!

[Louie and me]

I rarely put the TV on during the day but if the weather is bad and I am housebound I put it on for company. Even if I am not in the room the voices keep me company. Some how the radio doesn't cut it for me except when I am driving.
