How many people, and how many TVs in your house?

We currently have a TV in our main family sitting room and one in our bedroom. We're finding increasingly that the DC are dragging tonnes of toys through from the playroom into the sitting room and creating a holy mess. Thinking of getting a TV in the playroom for them but not sure. There are 3 of them and although it's nice to sit and watch the odd film with them, they'll often watch 20 mins or so then create carnage around us- it would be nice to put their film on in the playroom and then retire to the sitting room to enjoy some peace and quiet while they play 🤔 Wondering if this theory will actually work or not though. 3 TVs in a house of 5 is not excessive is it? DS (aged 6!) has asked for one in his bedroom which is an absolute hard no!

2 people.
2 TVs.
One in lounge of course and I've always had one in my bedroom. Won't be getting any more.
Although of course you can use a laptop to watch live Tele on now anyway really, if she wanted to when she's older.

4 of us and two TVs. But the kids don’t watch TV. They prefer their phones and tablets. They don’t have the attention span for clips longer than a minute or two I suspect.

I can't imagine a room without a tv but that's just what I was used to growing up!

We have 6 TVs, 5 people.

We have a tv in the toy storeroom playroom but they always migrate to the kitchen to play, even if I’m in there with them. They follow the light and head to the brightest room. 🤷🏼‍♀️

One person, no television.

4 people, 1 TV, but also OH has a computer in the basement that he can watch netflix on when he wants to watch something not suitable for younger eyes and ears.
