Do you have a TV in your bedroom?

No TV in my bedroom. Never had one. Wasn't allowed when I were younger, but spend most of my time in the sitting room anyway at the mo so can put on tv there, better tv like. If I had a partner or my own house I probably would have a tv in my bedroom, but think its a distraction! I rather use my laptop for watching 'tv' instead. Bedroom meant for sleeping not technology! :cool: Everyone is different.

Have one but rarely watch it - watch more on my laptop than on the TV!

When I got one for Christmas when I was 14 I used to watch it for movies with my sister. But then my brother stole it from me for his games console. When I stole it back I'd pretty much lost interest.

Now I have the laptop so I can have internet/reading/movies/tv in the bedroom and it definatly removes the impulse to sleep. Not living with my significant other at the moment, but he doesn't have a telly in his room, but we use the laptop to watch movies in the bedroom - mostly cos the couch is way too uncomfortable to cuddle on. I think when we get our own place and more comfortable furniture we'll go back to watching stuff on the telly sitting on the couch.

I have to agree that it's nicer not to have a telly in the room.

I really couldn't imagine having a tv in my room, I barely watch tv at all anymore. Though I do have a laptop in my room so I watch programs on that. Totally doesn't count though

I have a tv in my bedroom, and have the habit of watching the news when I get into bed, or sometimes a movie.

It doesn't interfere with any other activity, since I'm single and the only action my room sees is when I switch on CSI.

Nope, no TV in our bedroom. Bedroom is for sleeping and other things, not vegging out watching whatever

No, both myself and the Mrs agreed, no TV in the bedroom.

When I was younger, I did. But then I also had a computer, games console, sofa, stereo and a mini fridge, so it was more of a flat than a bedroom. (Always had a lot of people over.) But then I was getting very little sleep due to always being on the internet or gaming. Even now, I have to make a concerted effort not to always be messing on the internet on my phone.

Ya, I have a tv in my bedroom! I live at home with my parents so I don't really get to watch tv downstairs in the living room, well to watch the programmes I like. It's handy anyway and It's nice when I just want to be alone

I do like the idea of the 'bedroom for sleeping and sex only' thing but I'm not sure if it'd work out for us - we don't live together and I have never even owned a telly but I bring my laptop to bed most nights when I'm on my own and watch a few episodes of House or 30 Rock or something to put myself to sleep - I'm a light sleeper and my housemate opening a door would keep me awake if I didn't have some sort of noise or other of my own going on. Himself is practically married to his giant flatscreen telly and despite having lived in a house with no TV for the first 18 years of my life I have to say I love it - we are both big film fans and would watch 2 or 3 films a day together on the weekends at his place. I don't think we've ever 'watched telly' as in receiving an actual broadcasted channel on it, but we watch a lot of box sets and so on. He uses it for gaming as well when I'm not there and I got him to get a HDMI lead, wireless mouse and wireless keyboard so that he could use his telly as an external monitor for his laptop.

Yes there is a tv in my bedroom, it is 21 inch telly. I have no problem with watching a good movie all snug n cosy in the bed, complete with a nice bar of choccie. :P

I remember getting a TV for christmas when I was about 16; it was fantastic! I had the freedom to watch whatever I wanted in the privacy of my own room

I think that novelty has never completely gone away; since moving away from home I've always had a tv in my room. It means that I can get away from the drivel that my housemates may want to watch (America's Next Top Model comes roaring and screaming to mind :pac:), but having a tv in the sitting room as well allows for shared recreation time.

I don't find that it impacts on bedroom-related activities either. It's all a matter of priorities

No, I don't: I really don't like the idea of televisions in bedrooms. I've never had a tv in my room.
I do use my laptop for watching dvds, though.

Have never had a TV in my bedroom either, never even considered getting one..I would probably never get to sleep if I did !!
