I have too many TV's in my house!! I actually bought a 32" TV and put it 4 feet from a 52" TV and ran a HDMI splitter so that they show the exact same thing!! I also have a 2TB hardrive with 1500 movies on it that I can scroll through via my PS3 so I never really have to go rent movies or pay for them. I also have that same hardrive on a home server that's connected to my router. So I can watch those movies anywhere in my house with my laptops or Iphone. I'm a dork!!

That's why I have two TV's so close to each other, it's the same room, just pointed in different directions so I can walk from the fridge to the couch and not have to worry about missing out on any action!

Actually I burnt most of them myself. I use a program called Handbrake and pop a movie in, adjust the settings that I want to use and just burn them onto a hard drive. Takes between 45-90 minutes per movie depending on the settings. I don't do any of this at home though cuz I got better things to do, my job affords me the liberty and time to do this.
