We've always only had one, but bought a very cheap second as a stopgap while we were moving back and forth between two houses.

Is putting the second one in the bedroom going to be a bad move?

Yes

Don't do it... Bed's are for sleeping (well, mostly for sleeping), and putting a TV there will only spoil that.

If it's a flat screen, why not put it in your man cave?

We have four but one hasn't been switched on in years and won't work now we have digital in our area anyway.

Main room, kitchen/diner (great for watching F1/footie etc whist pottering) and one in the bedroom but that is for the wife - she likes to watch tv in bed before going to sleep.

1 tv and its not connected to an aerial.My parents bought it as a gift for us last christmas

has a DVD and an apple tv attached.

wouldnt dream of a TV in the bedroom or the kitchen - only place id consider an extra TV is the bathroom (but that`d just be wierd)for post long run/ride soaks in the bath

Three. One in the 'snug' along with the stove for winter use mainly, one in the living room (weekend use) and a very old CRT in our bedroom that's not been witched on for about 4 years - should bin it really.
Will not allow daughters to have TVs in their rooms.

I find the iPad to be perfect for that.

3. Living room, bedroom and boys room. The wee one can play his computer for a wee while in his room if we want to watch something in the living room. Saves arguments. The bedroom TV is for early nights and sticking a film on. Doesnt get used much outside of that. Maybe a lazy sunday morning family film when the kids come in beside us.

Just the one in the living room - 'small' 21" flat screen - only thing plugged in is Xbox - but we watch all our media on it anyway.

ZERO in 'my' house (laptop and a lovefilm subscription for bored evenings)

3 in 'our' flat (but one isn't even wired in, it's just in the spare room for keeping nieces/nephews ammused with DVD's when were babysitting.

TV in the bedroom is bad idea, not so bad in the monring to stick BBC news on while getting ready, but the missus will want to watch a film, and I'll just want to sleep and that just leads to arguments.

1 10 year old CRT we were given. I had a nice 42 inch LED one but had it fly tipped when I decided I wanted to be middle class.

One. It's a CRT over ten years old at that. We watch the laptop more than the tv anyway.

This is surprising I thought most people had bed room TVs and that all kids over 3 had one in their room. Makes me feel better about only having 1.

0. Do have 2 laptops (one connected to a monitor) running most of the time though. If i did have a tv then I'd quite like one in a kitchen, not applicable at current as the flat is just 3 rooms and one of those is the bathroom!

+1, thought the standard answer would be "14" or sommat!

We've got 2; living room and bedroom. Latter used by the wife for news in the morning and catching up on crap while I go riding of a weekend.

Less flippantly, we are in the same situation as alfabus (above).

0, except that we use our iMac to watch things on iPlayer when they seem worth it, and of course to watch films.

I was expecting more answers like that too, I'm really surprised.

Don't forget to take account of the fact that STW is not populated by 'most people'. See any discussion about football to see that we are not all that representative of the 'everyman'.

edit: this is a good thing, and it is probably why I spend so much time here

I'm impressed by the number of no TV households (as a member of one myself).

1 in the house.

But about 30,000 of the damn things at work.

This is about a quarter of them

I might 'hollow out' my CRT and put an LED one inside so I can appear middle class but still at xbox in HD.

3 of which 2 always are crammed with with stuff recorded off Sky to watch, I've only had 3-4 hours sleep since I was a kid, so tv has always helped through the night to kill the time.

1 here.

I did see this pic of a bedroom of a house for sale though. The occupants clearly had no taste whatsoever looking at the house decor but I did lol at this room in particular.
