Cool.
I get along better with TVs than people.

Does this count computer monitors, or just traditional TVs?

'Cause it's a 1:1 ratio at my place... but only because I live alone. If my girlfriend and I lived together and somehow made some weird, retarded decision to have six kids, we'd still just have one TV.

No TV.

Can't calculate a ratio anyway.

Wake me up when people have more TVs than ROOMS IN THEIR HOUSE!

I have more computers than people in my house anyway...

2 people, 3 TV's that work.

That isn't , that's .

I grew up in a family with 6 people and one television (and I'm only in my early 30's). Is that weird?

4 sets inside, 2 adults and a baby.
1 set in garage.

No cable or satellite, just lots of tv's and rabbit ears.

6:4, but I don't live there all the time, so 6:3

6 TVs. Traded one in for a kid. Well, not technically. Big one broke, and was going to replace it... until a day later when the wife peed on a stick. Have three TV Tuner cards/devices for computers too, if those count.

0:1 here, since 1997

If broken TVs count, then I'm guilty. Only one that works, and I find myself using it less and less.

If they were surveying broken or obsolete computers, then I would really be up there.

Oh, but I have 3:1 computers, and an XBox 360 hooked up to a DLP projector.

3 people, 2 sets. Well only one. The other isn't used.

Something tells me that "DLP projector" is redundant.

Damn beer. I better go finish the job I started.

Nothing like the flaunting the overindulgence and gross, bloated consumerism of your country. (and probably mine)

Just goes to show that having more at ultimately any cost, is more important than morality and ethical understanding.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but I doubt it. If you think I am, you're probably just unaware of what this really means.

/the world is so unbalanced it's sickening.
//flame on!
///I don't plan on arguing about it, fight amongst yourselves.

We have 4 TV's in rooms and one in the garage. in a 3 bedroom. and DaCricket: how do you watch porn if you don't have one in the bedroom? Mmmmm gonna go ask the 2nd half if she wants to watch porn...........

It's not redundant; I have a DLP Rear projection and DLP projector. And my regular little 27" 4:3 HDTV.

/The RPTV is a Samsung 61" 1080p and she's beeeeautiful.

3:1, although the 13-incher doesn't really count

A big screen in the living room, a smaller widescreen tv hooked up only to a dvd and game consoles in the family room, a tv in each of the 3 bedrooms. 5 people in the family, guess I need to buy another one.

7:3, overkill? I'm thinking about installing one in the shiatter.

Well of course. I'm assuming most of these aren't bought concurently as people keep upgrading to newer sets.

My household has three (for three) but the thing is:

We had a crappy 19" CRT that we used for at least five/six years. Then we purchased a 32" CRT, and used it for about the same length of time.

Finally last summer we broke and bought a 52"/54" or something or other in the mid-low fifties DLP to replace that.

19" relegated to basement.
32" relegated to basement.

Why throw them out?

Now the 19" sits beside the old out of focus 19" CRT monitor which is now buddy-buddy with the 17" CRT monitor that I replaced tonight with a 20" LCD.

Duh. One for each persons bedroom plus, one in the living room.

My household has one for each bedroom, plus one in the living room, and a little black and white in the bathroom.

3 people, 5 TVs, 6 DVD players/capable devices, 4 computers.

shadesofblack: 'Cause it's a 1:1 ratio at my place... but only because I live alone. If my girlfriend and I lived together and somehow made some weird, retarded decision to have six kids, we'd still just have one TV.

I have a single tv with my wife by choice. I think it has something to do with the fact that 99.999999% of what's on that infernal babble box is garbage. I finally replaced my 27" Philips-Magnavox a few months ago, and only 'cause the dang thing stopped working after 12 years.

/despises TV

Kosta: true that, they all came as a result of us moving in together. The one in the garage is the one my dad bought me in college.

2 people
1 tv set (gets watched once/month maybe)

/75 or more computers though

The average American home now has more money than common sense. Oh wait, that's not news...

1:4, but it's only connected to a DVD player, no TV stations at all here.

One person, two TV's here. TV in the living room is circa 1988, Quasar 19" with the built-in VCR that no longer works. Picture is still excellent so no plans to replace it. Low tech FTW!

0:1
And very happy
I don't need the mindless drivel the TV pumps directly into your brain.

Reasearch also shows that your brainwaves are pretty close to what they are when you are sleeping after 30 minutes of watching TV.
Best brainwashing tool evar!

Most people have all their old TV's still, so it's no surprise.

We have 2 broken ones from the 60's, 1 still working 80's model, an HDTV, and a regular one.

So 3 working models out of 5. Household of 3.

Most have more socks than they have feet too.

mrsleep: I don't need the mindless drivel the TV pumps directly into your brain.

Good thing you fill that time with worthwhile pursuits, like Fark!

Too bad the Poor in the US will have to wait till 2009 to get their free HD TV boxes from Congress ( paid for with your Tax $$$s)
My home:
4 tube TVs (1 HD), 5 Computers ,1 video projector ,1 projection TV, 2 people and 8 Cats.

1 TV, and I use it mainly to watch DVDs. I catch an occassional PBS or History Channel documentary, but don't watch anything else really. I used to watch a lot of cable news until I finally realized they are all a bunch of drama queens.

Sad? Enviable?

6:1
100" projector home theater
42" plasma, yeah, in the bedroom... turns out many women like watching porn while doing porn!
(4) 27" scattered about.
Never watch network, except Fox News (not really, just said that to piss most of you off!)

Killer Miller: I used to watch a lot of cable news until I finally realized they are all a bunch of drama queens.

Sad that it's becoming so much so.

Everyone screaming.

2 TVs (1 50" DLP, 1 27" Tube).
3 People (1 75" male, 1 63" female, 1 24" daughter).

We have three TVs, one in the living room, one in my wife's room, and one in our teen daughter's room. I occasionally use the computer in my room as a DVD player, but that's about it.

I still find books more enjoyable than video in most cases because it's easier to put one on "pause".

Duh. One for each persons bedroom plus, one in the living room.

My household has one for each bedroom, plus one in the living room, and a little black and white in the bathroom.

Only one in each bedroom? You should try three. You set two of them up on their sides to the left and the right of the bed. Then you can lay on your side and watch, roll over to your other side and keep watching. Man, that's living.

If someone wants to move into my house, which strangely is fairly common, damn wife's family is a bunch of vagabonds. My only rule is that they bring their own TV. I only have one and I'm not sharing!
