BOTH Townsend twins were sitting in the living room and watching an episode of [Blind Justice]. The episode was being projected in front of them. Using projectors was one of the simplest ways to watch movies and shows that had already been released. One only needed to insert a video chip of what they wanted to watch and it would project the content of the chip.
If Astrid had to make an analogy, video chips were like DVDs or Blu-Rays. And then the projectors would be like a DVD player and a TV rolled into one.
Most simple household only had this kind of set-up whenever they wanted to watch their favorite movie or series. Shows on TV could be easily watched in the Terminal. So, most of the time, television wasn't usually used. Of course, the television of this era was not the same as those on Earth during his past life. It was now much more advanced.
