Can lightning strike your TV even if you have lightning rods on your house?
I am not an electrician, but my belief is yes, lighting can take out your tV if you have lightning rods. The house across the road where I once lived, had massive lightning rods extending from both ends of the roof ends. It was struck by lighting and the house burned to the ground. Many trees were in the area. My well pumps and also wired smoke alarm detectors were blown. Approximately 30+ years ago, I was sitting in my living room watching a console TV that was physically placed in front of the picture window. A bolt came through the glass, went down to the receptacle, turned the tv on and blew the tube. It was no longer usable.

Lightning is actually a sudden discharge of high voltage and high current arisiing out of large voltage(potential) differences between charged clouds. These surges, in their path towards the earth, can strike power lines and antennae and pass through the wires to the terminal equipment such as TV. The huge currents and voltages, even though of short life, can damage the electrical components and electronic circuits which are usually designed for low power. The surges are so powerful that they can destroy the equipment even if they are off but connected to the mains/antenna.
