We have one TV and when we don't use it we cover it up. I don't want to turn into my parents and have the TV on all the time, and 3 TVs in a small home! My sister and her family are the same - the first thing the kids do when they walk in is put the TV on. For them, no TV is like walking into a room in the dark and not switching the light on. They can't understand why you would want to do that! I like quiet, time to think, going out - the TV can be like a dictator in your house, keeping you glued there and infecting your mind... I'm not really anti-TV, just concerned that so many people seem to let it rule their lives.
