[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We usually have the TV on as background noise.  We have lots of lively conversations and certainly no one ignores anyone.  Doesn't sound normal to me.[/quote]

Why do you feel like you need background noise?  If no one is watching it, why don't you turn it off?  I genuinely would like to know.  [/quote]

I too hate having the television on and cannot fathom why anyone would want it on as background noise, especially when there's company over. I find it difficult to understand conversation if there's television on in the background, and the commercials, lights, and noise just generally annoying me and sometimes give me a headache.

I grew up in a family where we were only allowed to watch television a couple hours a week. My sibling married someone who has TV on all the time, is very bossy, and it really annoys the hell out of most of us.

I would encourage those who have company over to turn the TV off unless there's something very specific everyone wants to watch.[/quote]
