Well, we would need a lot of them. Theres the under-the-cabinet tv in the
kitchen, not to mention the one in the refrigerator door, the tv in each
bedroom, the ones in the utility room and the bathroom, a couple in the
storage room as spares, one in the van and the boat. No problem with the
projection tv in the den, but never have any time to watch that one unless
somebody is sick.
