Somebody told me yesterday that they had 5 (or it may have even been 6) televisions in their home, which strikes me as astounding.

I can probably understand the need for 2, at a push, but 5/6?

We have just the one in the lounge and I had been giving some thought to getting rid of that - there is very little on that I watch - most of what I do watch is on my iPad on the train. A family film on a Friday or Saturday evening is good though, so it will be staying.

How many TVs do you have in your home?

1, I suspect more TV is watched on the various digital devices in our house than actually on the TV.

2, one in the lounge and one in the Bedroom. And the only reason we have two is if I want to play playstation while the Mrs is watching stuff I can't stand. If I didn't have a playstation, we'd have 1 TV.

1 in each bedroom, 1 in the kitchen (most used tv in the house) and 1 in the lounge. Do I need all 5? Probably not, but do they all have a use? Yes! Busy house with people of different ages with different tastes in tv programmes and obviously games systems for the kids.

2. One in the living room, one in my bedroom.

It's quite easy to end up with loads if you have a big house - my parents have 5 and they hardly watch TV.

I remember once being told by a very senior retired police officer that having multiple TVs with video recording equipment in the same room was generally considered by the rozzers to be sufficient evidence to get you banged up - or at least thoroughly investigated.

One and debating getting rid of that, other than one or two series there is nothing worth watching on TV. The only thing that has stopped me is for something to stick on in the background when freinds come round. Otherwise my CD player or radio get more use.

I have 3, I suppose. One is in my bedroom, and horrendously heavy and vast, suitable for a student in 2003. Another is in a box and I think we're giving that away. The main one is new and "smart" and am getting used to its intense and unshakable clarity. It's weird to have everything so precise and the murkiness of usual televisuality wiped clean. Sure my eyes will adjust.

One in the lounge. Two if you count a black and white portable in the loft circa 1974.
