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.

We have a television and that's one too many, in my opinion. Who needs TV when you have MR??

More importantly, who has time for TV, when one has MR ?

Germany just might win this time!

I voted for Italy, since it's a new option. i did veto the idea of putting a TV into the bathroom that we are remodeling. Had to draw the line somewhere.

We have a tv in the bedroom and one in the livingroom. And naturally, every single computer (except the file server) has a tv card in it.

When we're finally done rebuilding our house (which is a 10-year plan, and we're 3 years underway now), we will have one in the living room, kitchen, bedroom and lounge.

Naturally, every single room has a tv connection... (or 2)

And no, I will never vote for Germany!

Why not? Our country is much better than it's reputation. We are very friendly and hospitable. (Well, apart from a few idiots. But such people seem to occur in every country of the world.)

And last but not least: Our "brewmeister of the beast" is offering free beer for all germany-voters!

I just voted for PORTUGAL! a second time. Thanks for letting me do that, pshwynkies.

montsnmags · 03-08-2009, 08:03 PM

We're trying to figure out how to get a telly out near the balcony spa, so we can eat nibblies and quaff ZCDs while watching Biggest Loser.

Cheers,
Marc (STRAYLYA!)
