Hi Mag,

According to this site:-

<http://www.nls.org/ssassi/new_ssi_rule.htm>

There was a change in SSI rules in 2004:-

"SSI no longer limits value of household goods and personal effects."

In fact this page:-

<http://www.socialsecurity.gov/ssi/spotlights/spot-resources.htm>

Confirms that "household goods and personal effects" do NOT count towards your 
$2000 resource limit.

I would be pretty sure a TV counts as "household goods" so I think you are 
fine. Kickback that "Lazee-Boy", fire up the plasma, and neck a couple of 
Buds". ;-)

Cheers

Deri
