Television

<br> Television (often abbreviated to TV, T.V., or t.v. and sometimes called The Tube, or telly in the UK) is a widely used telecommunication system for broadcasting and receiving moving pictures and sound over a distance. The term may also be used to refer specifically to a television set, programming or television transmission. The word is derived from mixed Latin and Greek roots, meaning "far sight": Greek "tele", far, and Latin vision, sight (from video, vis- to see).
