We don't have the TV on all that often but I always have some sort of cover on if I'm sitting on the couch, either at home or in our RV. At home during the summer we always have the ceiling fan going (live in Georgia) and hubby has the temp. lower than I like. I actually not only have a cover on, I wear a sweater as well. In the winter, the spot I usually sit at on the couch tends to get the cold draft from upstairs so again, a cover and a sweater. In the RV, again in the summer the ceiling fan is always going so always some sort of cover and a sweater. In the winter, a cover, a sweater and the electric fireplace going. Yes, we have a ceiling fan and an electric fp in our RV, it's a 5th wheel. I'm very cold natured, I wear a sweater outside if it's under around 75.
