You know that you're crazy as a shithouse rat, don't you?
I don't know if your penchant for misinterpreting things in an overly literal sense is a [low-rent] trolling tactic or if you're severely autistic, but either way, you're not even correct, not even in a purely literal, technical sense. "TV" is an abbreviation of "television," which refers to a system of transmitting video and audio which is reproduced on video display devices that are equipped with, or connected to, television tuners. The term doesn't refer to the display device itself except in a casual sense (the proper term for a video display device which receives television signals as its primary function is "television set"), which renders your first three paragraphs null and void.
Furthermore, he used the term "on TV," not "on a TV," which means he was referring to the system, not to the display device, obviously.
"Television NETWORKS (which is basically 'programming') are a different thing from the display device. You only mention television, not networks. People can have televisions without having a connection to those greedy, bastardizing corporations."
Again, you don't know what you're talking about. First, like I just said, he said "on TV," not "on a TV." Second, the word "TV" or "television" by itself, first and foremost, refers to the system, not to a display device. Television networks utilize the system, but not all television broadcasts originate from networks. There's a guy in my small town that broadcasts television signals from his house. He has an LPTV license and isn't affiliated with any network. He broadcasts whatever he wants, whenever he wants, and doesn't even air commercials.
