TV Poll: How Are You Hooked Up?

42" Sony LCD, TiVo Series 3, Comcast.

One 28in LCD in the main room, a teeny very old tv in the bedroom, digital satellite service (NZ) and a DVR. Hubbie also watches downloads on his computer. (Not sure whether Kiwi television habits are useful, but there you are!)

Oops... bother. That should be 36in LCD. Sigh.

I'm overseas, so I procure some current US shows through illegal means, and watch them on my laptop. The rest of the TV and TV-on-DVD watching is done on a 29" Panasonic CRT TV.

32" SONY Bravia -- DirecTV w/HD DVR at home and plain old 27" TV w/basic cable at office. I've been trying to navigate joost lately on the computer.

At home 2 tv's (don't know size) 2 DVR, Direct TV
At college: Laptop

1 20" old Toshiba TV in the bedroom with a built-in VHS recorder (which I use!)
1 36" newish Philips TV in the living room with Tivo

small tv on my dresser in a college dorm room.
cable connection which includes one HBO channel,
use the laptop to watch what i miss online

27" Widescreen HD TV in the bedroom. No other television in the house. It also serves as my computer monitor. Comcast cable with a DVR. I download some television shows and also watch a few (the office) on my iPod.

37" HD TV, Time Warner HD DVR cable box, with the Time Warner HD package.

Plus: YouTube, iTunes and other streaming-video outlets, for episodes I've missed, or to see specific talked-about moments. Oh, and DVD box sets to get up to speed on serialized shows I missed when they first aired (e.g., "Alias", "The Wire").

Two TVs - 42" Hitachi Ultravision Plasma, 24" Samsung non-HD.

1 TiVo, which, because my building has satellite, frequently has problems recording because it fails to properly change the channel (anyone know a fix for this?)...plus, satellite means you can only tape one show - you can't tape two, or watch one while taping another...I hate you TiVo/satellite.

My building has Dish Network, but if I move I'm going back to cable (see above). Huge selection of channels (we get all the movie channels imaginable), but only a few in HD (Discovery, HDNet, TNT, ESPN, HBO, Showtime, and the networks).

I do watch shows on my computer (if my Tivo fails to record), and via Blockbuster DVD rentals (which caught me up this past week on Friday Night Lights - my new obsession).

Compaq widescreen laptop for the majority of shows I watch with the misses.

PSP during my daily commute. Great for watching the NBC podcasts of Meet the Press and Nightly News, as well as the Daily Show, 1/2 hour comedies, and programs the misses doesn't care for.

29" JVC television -- of the old school tube variety -- sporting an even older school antenna on the roof. The ol' VCR in the entertainment center has been made nearly obsolete by the Internets.

34" Sony Vega (SD), ReplayTV, 23" Apple Cinema Display (for HD content), Comcast as source of the programming. Also will watch the occasional show on the iPhone screen.

Medium-sized non-HD TV, Comcast cable with HBO, no DVR (but I watch a lot of stuff OnDemand), a Netflix account for DVDs, and a laptop that I hate watching TV on.

High Definition is very, very important to me and my family.

We have two TVs in regular use - a 28" flatscreen in the living room, with a DVR, and a 20" DVD combo in the bedroom, the main use of which is to play MASH dvds to fall asleep to. Our 28" has HD capability, but I don't think our basic cable subscription offers any HD channels. I rarely watch shows on my computer or iPod, but I do Netflix shows from premium channels (Big Love, Weeds) or shows that I missed the first few seasons of (House, Gilmore Girls) - I'm kind of compulsive about not watching the new seasons till I've caught up with the old ones.

My husband is all for upgrading to a plasma, but I'm holding him off till we buy a house. I could also see us upgrading our cable package at that point.

Comcast = provider. 3 TV's: an LCD, a Plasma and a rear projection. Two Series 3 Tivos and a comcast provided DVR (which is horribly counter-intuitive and klutzy to use). All TVs = HD.

Would go back to DirecTV if they'd reestablish a relationship with Tivo.

Because Cable Cards aren't 2-way capable, can't do on demand, so we also subscribe to Netflix.

1 19'' Orion TV that I've had since the 6th grade, which is about to die.

1 Standard VCR that I've had for years.

1 Standard DVD player.

My digital cable from Comcast that features regular programs along with HBO. It gives me faster Internet access, which I offered not to go wireless on. Plus for new users it was a cheaper deal.

Three TVs in the house: two conventional, one HD. Two VCRs (yeah, I know, get a DVR), but one isn't set up right now (result of moving and such). Digital cable with some premium channels (for example, HBO but not Showtime) for all TVs.

Don't own a video iPod, but I readily and enthusiastically watch TV on my laptop or the family desktop through network sites or, uh, other free streaming methods. Occasionally buy TV DVDs that I haven't watched previously, but only very occasionally; watch these DVDs on my laptop.

A 32" budget LCD HD set, premium cable w/ built-in DVR, and an old DVD/VCR combo. I never use the VCR and I'm itching to replace it with an up-scaling DVD player.

Two TVs. The main one is a 46" DLP HDTV in the living room. It's fed by a cable box with a dual-tuner HD DVR. I get the premium cable package which gives me more than 300 channels, of which I might have actually watched 35-40. I get 19 HD channels, though they offer differing amounts of actual HD content (I still haven't seen a single HD program on A&E).

The second TV is an old 27" standard in the bedroom. It's rarely used.

I regularly watch TV/video on my computer. Mostly it's TV programs I've downloaded via one file sharing network or another. Usually it's programs not available in my area, HD recordings of programs I didn't receive an HD feed for, or programs that didn't make the cut when prioritizing the tivo.

I have watched video via internet video sites like YouTube. And I have watched video programs created specifically for the internet (Tiki Bar TV and dlTV come to mind). I generally do not watch TV programs via these sites because the video quality is too low.

I own a Sony PlayStation Portable (PSP) and I have used it to watch TV, mostly on plane flights.

I also own an Xbox 360 and have used it to watch TV programs purchased via the Xbox Live Marketplace. I really like the way this has been set up and would prefer purchasing programs ala carte in this fashion instead of the current cable model if not for the following:
* Currently not enough content providers.
* Not enough HD content. Even some programs that were originally broadcast in HD are only avaiable on Live in standard definition. Some people might argue that the HD content is limited to 720p, but my HDTV is only capable of this anyways.

47" lcd with hd dvr in living room
tv on dvd with 1080p dvd upconvert

64, retired on social security. Time-Warner service area. No off-the-air and can't afford cable. Get news via Verizon DSL. Eyes are going so I watch DVDs on my eight-year-old Mac, the ten year old 36" RCA sits idle. Essentially TV was part of my youth.
My birth certificate says I'm an American by birth, but with no heath insurance, no media access, and failing eyesight (coneal problems), I actually live in some fourth world country.

Television: A "lowly" 1080i 30" tube, while I wait for the Plasma/LCD/SED wars to come to an end.

Signal: Rabbit ears - for over-the-air high def signals.Reception rarely drops in my neighborhood (however, there are few high-rise buildings in the area, which helps enormously). Fun fact: OTA HD signals are generally higher quality than cable, as cable often transmits at a lower res and then upsamples.
For backup/cable I have a standard def coaxial cable (via your Time/Warner corporate overlords). No HD on the cable, as my preferred cable stations (FX, Adult Swim(Cartoon Network), and AMC if I ever get around to catching up on your Mad Men) are all still standard-def only.

DVR: None* - I am still putting together a new computer and seeing if I can get away with using Windows Media Center to record my shows (the Home Premium and Ultimate versions of Vista come with Media Center bundled). If my computer usage interferes with my recording, I will bite the bullet and buy a HD Tivo.

I have a standard def 40" widescreen TV in the living room with Tivo and very basic cable. We also have a HD projector in the basement that produces a 100" image. We just receive HD signals over the air, no cable or Tivo. Just watched The War in HD last night.
