2. An HDTV, a TIVO, DVD, tons of stereo stuff, surround sound....
Hubby likes his toys. I admit to having a serious crush on the TIVO.

11. Yes
I have a regular tv, vcr, dvd/stero player. Plus I have sooo many movies and I'm building my dvd collection. I haven't had my dvd player except two years now.

7. No
My bedroom use is abnormal. I go in, plop on the bed, and turn off the light. No reading, no TV, and, unfortunately, at least lately, no sex.

Except for baseball, I don't watch TV anywhere.

22. Yep, I schedule a night's worth of shows before I go to sleep.
I used to sleep with a book in my hand, but since middle age has crept up on me and I need reading glasses, it's just easier to spend the night with X-Files re-runs or the History Channel.

30. 13 inch TV, TIVO, and VCR
Edited on Sun Apr-24-05 08:10 AM by supernova
in the bedroom.

I go to sleep with it on. I set the timer though, so it doesn't play all night. I used to sleep with it on all night, but it was waking me up too much.

I go to sleep with either Food Network or HGTV.

34. (I didn't mention the 13" I can't find a place for)
I can see the office TV from the kitchen, so I'm all set. :)

Funniest thing is, this is AFTER splitting up the TVs with my ex. :D She kept the big one, I got all the rest.

36. Nope...only have one in the living room...
and even it doesn't get turned on very often. The bedroom is like a little refuge for me and I don't want the noise in there from a tv.

37. Yup. We use it as an alarm clock.
with it and the real alarm clock, not to mention the dog jumping all over us with all that noise going on, we manage to get up on time (usually).

38. Yes
Considering while I've been living at my grand parents.. my room has been the place I spend the most time.. everything is in here. Television, Stereo, the Lappy Top, heck even the dog spends his time in here.

39. TV in the bedroom, none in the living room
We keep the thermostat set at 52 in the winter and it's warmer upstairs and we run a space heater in there anyway.

So, we hole up in our cave - working our hours by the time we get to watch TV it's usually about bedtime anyway.
