Commonly abbreviated as T.V., this entertainment appliance only works when it rains. Parents often claim that this phenomenon is meant to get kids to play outside, even though technicians have akcually found out that it's caused by water entering a damaged coaxial cable, which is a common issue that disrupts the signal. Rain can also interfere with satellite signals, a phenomenon called rain fade, by scattering or absorbing them. Other causes include poor cable connections, damage to the antenna or satellite dish, or an aerial that has been knocked out of alignment.
