It depends on how many amps each TV draws. The continuous load should be 80% of teh breaker or 12 amps. If an average TV draws 2.5 amps that would be 4 TVs. Look for a rating plate on TV and just add the currents up.

Is it ok to exchange a 20 amp breaker with a 40 amp breaker?
No. The 20 amp breaker is probably protecting a #12 wire. Connecting a 40 amp breaker to the 20 amp #12 wire would seriously overload the #12 wire. This means that if the load increased to a full 40 amps the insulation on the smaller size wire would most likely melt off and the wire could short out.
How many lights can run off a 15 amp breaker?

If A/C unit and TV are on the same circuit it sounds like a breaker trip. If it is not evident which breaker tripped move all of the breakers off one at a time. Move completely to the off position. You should come across one that clicks when moved to the off position. This is the tripped breaker.

How can you push 30 amp breaker to 50 amp?

Yes, considering you can do that on 15 amp breaker easy.Experience in construction field. The worst that will happen is that the breaker will trip off after a few minutes.In the formula W = A x V. W = 20 x 120 = 2400 watts. If you want you can operate two 1000 watt lamps from a 20 amp breaker operating on 120 volts.
How do you wire a 15 amp breaker?
