Current Events > How many actual TVs do you have?

(+) Yeah! (+)

When I was a little kid, we had one TV. When I was in the third grade and started public school, I found out that most homes had at least two-- one in the living room, and one in the parents' bedroom, and a few kids had their own TVs. We were particularly weird, because it was 1975 and we didn't have a color TV. Everyone I knew had a color TV, except the one really weird kid who didn't have TV at all (his parents were still hippies).

When I was 11, my grandparents took pity on my brother and me, and got us 13-inch B&W TVs for Purim. I felt rich.

When I was on my own, I still had the little B&W, and then I found a 19-inch color on sale for $60 (with a remote!) and put it on my credit card. I didn't even have cable. But now I was one person with 2 TVs. I put one in my bedroom.

When my husband and I combined households, we put the 19-inch color in the living room, his 13-inch color in the bedroom, and the B&W in the kitchen. The 19-inch eventually failed, and we got a 22-inch from Goodwill.

Years later, someone gave us a 26-inch. So we had the 22-inch in the bedroom, and the B&W in the kitchen, because my husband's color had failed after our move.

When the 26-inch, which was SD, failed, we made the switch to HD. My son had an old desktop in his room, not connected to the internet, but he played games and watched DVDs on it. We donated the 22-inch to Goodwill just before they stopped taking TVs. The B&W is in the back of a closet for sentimental reasons.

But now we have only one TV. We also have two laptops (one DVD capable), and a desktop that is relatively new, in my son's room, with internet (wireless). Plus, he has a tablet, and a portable DVD player (both grandma gifts). We get HULU and Netflix, and can stream our DVR to the computers.

My son has never said anything about feeling weird about having only one TV.

How many TVs is it normal to have? Do we have more computers than normal? My son's is oldish, just with some upgraded hardware, so it has WIN10. The monitor is big, but it was a demo, and we got it half-price. My laptop is cheap, and my husband has work stuff on his, so he needs a separate one. The portable DVD player is really old-- like 9 years.

So what do other people have?

Let's see...

6, technically.

2 smaller HDs, and three bigger HDs, with an older VCR/DVD combo one, but that's hardly used anymore, though it can be.

One of the small HDs is my main for my gaming. The other one is for the local antenna channels, no cable. The bigger HD is the main cable set up - Time Warner aka Spectrum has no reasonable deal up to this day to include an extra cable service without paying extra. Then, the other bigger HD is used to watch stuff from a PC HDMI link, but also has an antenna to TV, and it is also sometimes used for gaming, but mainly it is for PC HDMI link stuff.

The other big HD is not really used, but can be, it's just not needed, so it's in a convenient place, but not hooked up to anything.

I also have a monitor that can be used as a PC link if need be, but I don't use it anymore because the smaller HD already does the same thing.
