We have a small Samsung Frame tv in our living room (integrated into one of the floor to ceiling bookcases). No regular cable channels, but we subscribe to a sports channel for watching English Premier League matches, and then whenever there's a specific show we're interested in we get a subscription for either Netflix/HBO/Apple.

When Mr. A and I bought this house, there was an enormous cable package delivered by clunky boxes on each of the 12 or so televisions, plus a massive satellite dish on the roof because the husband is a British ex-pat and wanted to watch Tottenham Hotspurs. As I mentioned, the couple were both media people, so the plugged-in household made sense.

My parents were big TV watchers and now that they're both 86, I would describe theirs as a "constant TV household." Constant TV at an extremely loud volume.

I went to college in 1982 and never owned a TV until 1989, when I married someone who watched A LOT of TV (and lived in Florida, where there was cable. Philadelphia, where I had lived, did not have cable until the early '90s.)

Just one in the living room over the fireplace!
