You can; just don't expect great results. If it's a tube type TV (CRT) the image is refreshed as a series of interlaced horizontal lines at a rate of 60 times (I think) per second. If you use a shutter speed of 1/60 or less, you will capture one of those "bands" of lines for sure. If you use a slower speed, say 1/30 or less, you should be able to eliminate the band, but any motion on the screen will be blurry. As for digital, pixelized TV, I have no idea what you'd be up against.

There are many reasons why no picture is on a television but the question is impossible to answer without more information. Is the television on? What is the video source? what type of display is it? is there a backlilght on? Is there sound? Is the video source internally generated or external? Can menus be shown?

With those details clear, there may be a chance that the question can be answered.

Your antenna may be broken, your cable disconnected, or your TV may be switched to the wrong input. If you have a digital cable box, your account may have been suspended.
