How many do you have, and in what rooms? DVRs?

What shows do you watch?

We have one in the living room, one in the basement, and one in our bedroom. My oldest son (21) also has one in his room. We have DVRs on 2 of them (living room and our room)

I barely watch TV. I watch Survivor and I record Criminal Minds, but I rarely watch it. I try to only watch the oldest ones on the recording when I do, so although I'm not watching it exactly in order, at least it's sorta kinda.

I like Kitchen Nightmares / Restaurant Impossible. And Property Brothers if it's on when I'm sitting there. Chopped is good, too.

My new obsession is Bar Rescue. I watched the marathon of that all day yesterday. :giggle
 
We have 3. One in our living/family room, one in the guest room and one in our bedroom, neither of which get turned on very much. We have a DVR set up in the family room and a set top box in our bedroom. Our guest room has a Roku attached to it. We also have an AppleTV box in both the family room and our bedroom that get a lot of use.

My husband and I watch tv at night together, but that's usually the extent of my tv watching. I keep music on during the day more than the tv. We have a lot of shows set to record, but my favorites are Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, Parenthood, Nashville, Chicago Fire and Chicago PD. Oh, and I'm really beginning to like The 100, too.
 
We only have one TV in the family room... no DVR. I like NCISLA, Grey's, Person of Interest, Americans, Homeland, Scandal, Blacklist...
 
1- in the living room. Most evenings we watch something or another. I like White collar, NCIS, the new (to us here) King and Maxwell ,it is quite light hearted.Used to love The Closer, and Life. oh and Master chef-the Australian version, and so you think you can dance , Hubby likes documentaries ,so we see a fair amount of those too.
 
We have TVs everywhere! Family Room, our bedroom, basement (2) I big one for movies and one in front of treadmill. Then my hubby has a small one that he uses outside to watch baseball games on the patio by his kegerator! :) Funny thing is, the boys and I don't even watch TV much and when we do, it's on a device. The boys will watch Netflix on their iPods and if I watch anything, it's on my 2nd monitor on my computer while I do something productive... like scrapping! :) I could get rid on Satellite in a heartbeat, but I think my hubby would have a problem with that. He doesn't even really watch any shows... mostly Discovery channel, History channel and sports.
 
We have TVs everywhere, too. Living room, our bedroom, office, kids' rooms and I never really watch tv at all. We could easily get rid of our cable and just use Netflix. The only time I would miss it is football season.
 
We have two - one in the living room and one in the bedroom. We have one DVR and use our xbox 360 to watch netflix/amazon prime shows in the bedroom, although the tv in the bedroom just doesn't get used much.

We enjoy all kinds of shows, from crime solving to stuff on the history channel. Don't forget British tv, either, like Midsommer Murders, Inspector Lewis, Sherlock, etc. And one of our favorites we can only watch on amazon prime is a show out of Canada called Murdoch Mysteries - it's such a great show, I wish we could watch it when it airs but as it is now, we just keep waiting for the next season to be available on prime.
 
We have a TV in our living room and one in each of the two bedrooms. I also watch a lot of Hulu on my laptop.

I watch so many shows, but these are the ones that are actually on right now: Mad Men, Game of Thrones, Nurse Jackie, Portlandia, Big Bang Theory, Parks & Rec, Grey's Anatomy, Once Upon A Time, Good Wife, SNL, Turn, Cosmos, Modern Family.

And I'm trying to catch up on Orphan Black. Did anyone watch the Scandal season finale. Sooooooooo good!
 
We have TVs in each bedroom and our living room but we really only watch the one in the living room and I usually let DH pick what he wants to watch since I'm not really into any shows.....except one! #SOA! Although we have Netflix and America's Everything DISH package and we still can't find anything to watch. Sad, I know!

We have the TV in the living room. I don't like TVs in bedrooms, but I got overriden when it came to SS' bedroom. He and DH use it as a kind of mancave when he is here, and I appreciate not having to watch their shoot-em-up movies.

We don't have a DVR (or cable), but we do have Netflix and Hulu+ (which I use like a DVR). I don't watch hardly any TV when it's actually on, but I subscribe to lots: 'Glee,' 'The Mindy Project,' 'The Bachelorette,' 'Brooklyn 99,' 'DOOL,' 'Melissa & Joey,' 'Once Upon a Time,' 'Modern Family,' 'The Carrie Diaries,' 'So You Think You Can Dance,' 'Last Comic Standing,' and 'Saturday Night Live.'

If I just need some background noise while I scrap, I'll turn on a cooking reality show or 'Bridezillas.'

My very favorite TV show is 'Moone Boy' (with Chris O'Dowd -- :beat:beat:beat) which is exclusively on Hulu+. Its new season premieres this week, and I can't wait!
 
We love with my mother in law, and she had three: living room with dvr, bedroom with dvr, and my son's room with just a DVD player. We have one with a Dvr in our bedroom. We haven't had one there, but circumstances require it;-)
We don't watch a lot of love TV, except hockey. But we do watch sherlock (bbc), hells kitchen, cutthroat kitchen, modern family, and dh watches walking dead. Other than that, we'll turn it to PBS during the day for noise, or see what's on food network, ion, history, or discovery at night for noise. I tend to be a binge TV watcher.
 
We have one tv in the living room. I dont watch a lot of tv shows but when I do its usually on demand because I dont get home til after 6pm with uni and im in bed around 10. I do occasionally watch the 6pm news but as I watch the 6am news as im having breakfast plus I read the headlines online and listen to the radio im over it by then. I also will occasionally watch a home/living/travel or food program that my grandmother is watching but its a rareity.
 
We have a tv in the living room, one in the office, our bedroom and DD's bedroom. We have DVRs in the bedroom and living room. I record a lot of stuff on the DVR, but don't really watch much tv. LOL. I have a such backlog of shows and movies to watch that is insane. Just recently, I've almost caught up on the last two seasons of Law & Order: SVU because we were running out of DVR space. I also have 81 episodes of L&O Criminal Intent that have to stay on the DVR because they help me get to sleep (I've watched them so many times, I know the dialogue so it calms my monkey mind for some reason).

I love White Collar, The Mindy Project, New Girl, Through the Wormhole, The Following & NCIS but they are stockpiled on the DVR too (along with the last five episodes of the Closer). The Blacklist is the only show I'm up-to-date on because I have a hard time not watching it. If I don't watch it every week, I'll watch multiple episodes at once until I'm too tired to keep my eyes open. We have MSNBC on in the evenings, and then DH loves the ID channel and all of the murder shows (20/20, Dr. G, Foresnic Files, The First 48, Dateline), so he watches those while I do my schoolwork/scrapping in the evening. After 10 is the only time I really have time to catch up on tv.
 
We have 3 TVs, one DVR. They are in the family room, the den and Bianca's room (which she only uses it when sick).
 
Technically we have none, but our dying 27-inch iMac functions as one and we call it "the TV." It's in the, uh, bedlivingofficeplayroom. There aren't many rooms, so it's the one we do everything in besides cook and eliminate.
 
We have two, one in the living room and one in our bedroom. No DVR.
Together, DH and I watch Arrow, Revenge, Parks and Rec. I keep up with Parenthood, Survivor, Hart of Dixie, NCIS:LA, Castle, and Dancing with the Stars. With our boys, we watch Amazing Race and American Dream Builders.

We just have the one in the living room.. and we only ever use it to watch movies on DVD now and then.. maybe 1-2 times per week.. We don't have DVR and the only reason we have any cable service is because to get the internet speed we wanted we HAD to bundle with cable TV - blerg.. We do all our watching on netflix or the network websites on our ipad.. Recent faves: Revenge, Nashville, Scandal and catching up on old shows we missed entirely like Gossip Girl, West Wing and House .. :)
 
We have two but one is only for console games - kids don't watch mush tv. I love 30Rock, sherlock, archer, Game of thrones and Amazing Race - and the football is constantly on - I am an aussie rules tragic.

We are looking at getting a projector for our lounge room, then the tv might not get much of a look in.

There are 3 tvs in my house, one big one in the living room with a DVR, one in my son's room for tv and XBox and one in my daughter's room for the occasion when she visits us. I'm really the only one that uses the DVR. I record quite a few shows and then catch up in the evenings when I scrap. I'll DVR both NCIS, CSI, Criminal Minds, Hawaii 50, Bones, Elementary, Marvel, Person of Interest and a couple of others. My daughter said we HAD to get Netflix for older tv shows and movies so I did. My son watches it most, but I have enjoyed the Sherlock Holmes show on BBC that everyone raves about.
