14. Will there be TV broadcasts in space? Will we be able to watch our favorite shows on TV and play video games? Will we get cable? How is the reception? (A K2S Question)
From The Space Library
TV may be transmitted to us in space, but we may be so far away that it will take a long time for the TV signal to get to us. We might get one or two channels, but nothing like we get on Earth. And we will probably not be able to watch all our favorite TV shows, because there will not be enough TV channels being transmitted to us. The reception for the TV channels we will get, however, will be very good. We can bring along videos and video games, provided that we don't overuse our electricity. And there won't be cable!
