    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).

    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!

    Five. One in my room, one in my sister's room, one in the living room, one in my parent's room, and one on the deck. (And I think we have an extra in the garage....XD)

    Just one and I despise it. If I am home alone it does not get turned on. If I am home with company and it is on it makes me almost postal . Give me sweet sweet music any day.

    There are two TVs in our room at Concordia. Mine is a nice 42" sony bravia which is hooked up with two dvd players (one a recorder) and a vcr with a ton of remotes!. My roommate, Barry, has a 19" unsure of make and we use them every day.

    Do you have a separate CD player? If you do.....Check the "output.speaker" switch on the front of the system/tuner.

    Or the button on the remote.

    (I frigging hate the stereos NO buttons on the main unit.)

    I have a CD/DVD player hooked up to a TV with a soundbar.

    I can only play CDs with the TV on because the sound is routed thru the TV set!

    Technically we have three. One in our room that isn't hooked up to anything lol. We used to have the DVD player hooked up to it for days when Hannah wasn't feeling well or was tired and wanted to snuggle in our bed with a movie. So now it's just a TV that collects dust lol.

    One in Hannah's room that is hooked up to DVD and VHS player but no cable. Again for those times where she's not feeling well or is just tired and wants to snuggle in bed with a movie.

    Then we have our main TV in the living room that we use.

    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.
