1 in the media room (big screen ... 50 inch)
2 in the guest suite
1 in the garage and
1 in the second garage.
So .... that makes 11 TVs. Yes, I like watching TV and movies. Only 4 of the TVs are actually networked together. I have TIVOs attached to those sets.
It's not as odd as it might seem. When I'm cleaning house, I like to have all the sets on and tuned to the same channel so I can move from room to room and still follow what's going on. It works pretty well, unless I accidentally have one or more of the TIVO'd sets running through the TIVO because that sets up a slight delay and I get a weird echo from those sets.

Reads like a good plan. We have Verizon FiOS so we can record and play back from multiple locations. There are two head-end units and a number of flat screens around. I have also interconnected the computer monitors so they can be used for viewing. Also with the amount of old shows available through Hulu and the like I can now run the system backwards and view on a TV material downloaded through a computer.
I have hooked up a video media server to complement the existing audio server (with my library of music and old time radio shows) but other than instructional videos (like my wife's sewing/quilting/needlepoint/etc) this will be mostly a dump-watch-erase as we are not big on watching the same thing over-and-over again. (Two exceptions: the film
Blazing Saddles and the original
Monty Python television series.)
I recently got a few of these small (~3"x5") color LCD screens that will make great drop-in viewers in underserved areas of the house.
