Default Your 'normal' TV setup...

Just thought it would be nice to see what people have other than their crazy 8million dish setups?

I've got seven TVs...

My bedroom: nothing at the moment, apart from a feed from my Lounge (dormant atm)
3 other bedrooms: Freesat from Sky setup.
Kitchen/dinerthingy: Aerial feed, hooked up to a freeview box..
Study: soon, the new virgin TV thingy
Front room: Aerial feed (currently doing nothing), cable going up to my bedroom, Sky Subscription, && I could hook up my old Cable box and get the FTA channels, but I don't see the point.

Your turn.

Moi!!!

Bedroom - Akai 14 combi tv/vhs fed by analogue aerial and a sky box for fta/ftv. The sly box has a card that was registered in Scotland so the channels 1 and 2 and 3 all give me foreign programmes. I have to remember the channel numbers for the real programmes.

Main viewing via a 42" Panny plasma fed by Dreambox7000, Sly box with fta/ftv card, Toshiba HDD/dvd recorder, Sammy dvd/vhs combi.

Study viewing via 17" lcd and SS2 card with connection to my dreambox for exotic thingies.

Living room

32" Techwood LCD (borrowed from the girlfriends daughters room ops

This is a temporary measure until my sick sammy is replaced with a new, HD slimline version complete with freeview (under guarantee). This is attached to the TM 1500, Goodmans VCR, Lennox DVD surround sound system (Cheapo) and the (broken >) Wii.

Bedroom 1: Alba 15" portable with built in DVD.

Bedroom 2 (Girlfriends daughters room): Dunno, apart from the Techwood when she gets it back. I'm not going in their for love nor money It's such a mess I might not find my way back out for a month

Bedroom 3: Now't cause it's just a junk room ops:
