How Many Do You Really Need?
A couple days ago, on my way home from New Orleans, I stopped in at the JFK Airport.
There, I witnessed an interesting sight. I saw a regular sized sports bar with over 15 TV's in it!!
It made me wonder, when is enough, enough?

When every customer has a TV.
When there is only one Screen, a TV is a shared communal experience. Some people may not see the show they want, but everyone gathers around the same screen to experience the same thing.
When you ask the customers to sit down around the restraunt and let them expect to see their own choice of show then you are inexerably pulled toward one tv per customer.
A related rule I use is that computers are antisocial if there are less workstations than users, because one person is waiting while the others attention is absorbed in the computer, but when the workstations outnumber the users the computer becomes a communication tool.

Hmm . . . interesting theory. However, perhaps you cannot see in the picture, but EVERY TV had the same football game on except perhaps for two , which had the same basketball game on. No one really was able to see what they wanted, if they wanted to see anything besides football/basketball. However, I guess they were all sharing in the same experience.
