Introduction

Televisions are boxes that use electricity to show pictures and provide sounds so we can watch and listen to television shows.

Television shows are recorded by video cameras that turn pictures and sounds into electrical signals. A transmitter at a television channel sends these electrical signals to the television aerial on the top of your house. These electrical signals then travel through a cord or cable to your television which turns them back into pictures and sounds.
