We have one in each of the 4 bedrooms, the sun room, large screen tv w/surround sound in the game room and the same in the bsement, and 1 in the kitchen. There all on at the same time, with hardly any one watching them, because my kids and their friends must think we work for the electric company.

soon to have 1 in kitchen (funny how the evening news rolls around when it's time to cook dinner!)
We have one television in the family room & one in my parent's bedroom (at home that is...at college the TV is in the lounge). I don't know if the query had anything to do with kids or not but I can tell you from the perspective of a recent "kid" that I'm actually glad I didn't have one in my bedroom. Also (although I'd never admit it to my parents) glad we never had cable. It meant we could watch our Disney movies and our Saturday morning cartoons, but we were never on a TV schedule and found other things to do.
I don't think it's really necessary to have TVs in more than a few rooms of the house; obviously a larger family might need more sets due to interest conflicts, or having a mini-television in the kitchen might be nice for cooking- but generally I think having them in every room of the house is too much. Kids (well and everyone) have so many other entertainment options! Or maybe...I'm just resentful of my "underprivileged" childhood and I want to thwart you all! Muahahaha. Sorry, it's late.
One in the living room that no one ever watches, DD's room, our bedroom, my office and there are 2 in DH's office (1 for the playstation and 1 to watch tv )
Same here. Don't plan on ever getting tv's for the kids rooms though. I'd rather know what they are watching. We have TIVO so that solves any tv conflict for the time being (just record the other show to watch later). I'm sure as the kids get older they'll want to watch different shows from each other, so we'll have to work out some sort of system or priority list or something.
We have an itty bitty 2 bedroom house, just the two of us. We have one in the bedroom, one in the office, one in the living room. There isn't anyplace else for one! =)
I'd LOVE to have a small one in the kitchen, it's hard to hear the news from there...
