We have 3 people, 1 TV. (Living Room)

My colleague has 4 people and 8 TVs
(4 x bedroom, 1 x living room, 1x kitchen, 1 x dining room, 1 x study/snug)

We were just chatting and wondered if it was "normal" to have more TVs than people.i think it is, she thinks she's unusual.

Currently yes, but only because one of the four of us is away on business. Sitting room, kitchen, DH’s study (no arial, used for gaming), spare room.

Piffpaffpoff · 26/06/2019 20:40

Yes. TVs in all 3 rooms downstairs, plus one in the study and my bedroom.

Missmonkeypenny · 26/06/2019 20:41

2 TV’s, 6 people here. We don’t have them in bedrooms.

Sooverthemill · 26/06/2019 20:41

1 tv 3 people. But tbh we watch most stuff now on laptops/ tablets. Just use smart tv at night for about an hour a few times a week. I watch half episode with my lunch on laptop each day. I have only had a second tv when babies tiny and I breastfed at night. The it got relegated to the VHS screen!

RangerLady · 26/06/2019 20:42

My in-laws have 5 and 2 of them! They even have one in the conservatory. We have 1 and 4 of us.

Sooverthemill · 26/06/2019 20:42

Oh and we never allowed TVs in kids rooms much to their annoyance. I said if they got 13 A* at GCSE then they could...

Spinnaret · 26/06/2019 20:44

3 TVs, 4 people. And far too many tablets/phones/laptops etc which all get used far more.

notacooldad · 26/06/2019 20:45

No, well, I'm not sure!!
We have 3 TV.
I in the living room 1 in Ds2s bedroom and that was it until Ds1 moved back with us and bought himself a TV and then hardly stopped here since.
