we don't have a tv set - why would we?- there is internet and every movie available on demand, documentaries en masse and I'm not fond of most of the shows presented on tv anyway. So we don't have to place a tv set - those living rooms and parlors are just for relaxation and eventually having guests around. Most of the time I'm in my study and my PCs are where I'm watching videos, movies or news from around the world, youtube, documentaries and what not. A TV set cannot offer me what a PC and internet have to offer, and tv is passive - I want to be active doing these things - not to talk about the many ads in tv, which are stealing your time, whereas on PC I can be free of ads.
