To not make it sound too far fetched, what about your non touchscreen tv be wall sized. One end, you run one show and listen in using one bluetooth headset, another end your wife/roomie tunes in to another show with their own headset.
A third part of the screen's got kids playing video games, and a fourth has weather and news scrolling by.
When it's time to party, the 'wall' lights up with psychedelic colors and wavy patterns. When it's time to chill, it just glows with some subdued colors.
Press one button and it shows you a status of all your electrical appliances in the house on one part of the screen, the heat, the washing machine status, the ice level in the fridge..
It's not that hard to imagine more interesting uses of technology.

I can't see how that's better than what people do now- watch in different rooms. I really dislike the idea of having to wear a bluetooth headset in order to passively watch TV, and everyone having headsets strapped on seems to ruin the point of everyone being in one room. All IMO, of course.
