Television

Should refer to a television receiver, specifically such a unit which also possesses channel selector and speaker and supporting electronics, although we use the term to also include such a unit that projects the picture onto a separate screen. In addition, television offers sight and sound, and it makes dramatic and lifelike representations of people and products. Television (often abbreviated to TV, T.V., tv, or t.v.) is a common telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term "television" may also be used to refer specifically to a television set, programming or television transmission.
