Televisions

[Karen]

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!

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.

I have two. One in the living room and one in my bedroom. They both havd dvd players. I am spending more time in the bedroom thanks to my advancing arthritis so enjoy that one a lot. I use them for company more than anything.

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.

I haven't had a tv for 15+ years.

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!

We only have one in the living room and I plan for it to stay that way. It doesn't run that much since neither my husband or I are fond of it running unless we are actively watching and I for sure do not like background noise. To be honest I would be fine with no TV as long as I have internet, haha.

I forgot to say something about radio........

I usually listen to classic rock on the air, but with the playlists pre programmed, you hear the same songs time after time. Doris turned me on to National Public Radio and I really do enjoy the Prairie Home Companion; Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me and I heard a new program I had never heard before, Says You!

PHC is a funny, creative show and the other two are talk/game shows - a break from the somber tone that usually is broadcast.

NPR does have a little something for everyone - news, talk and silliness.

Always thought NPR was for boring people, So I grew up to be boring - but a little smarter for listening!

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.
