:At a different rental (a townhouse in a HOA neighborhood), my tenants wished to get satellite TV.

The TV is not a focus of anything.  

I was embarrassed and not sure how to tell my client my mistake when he opened the bedroom door and there she was cat lady in a grandmotherly night gown laying in bed watching tv.

Throw out your TV ( we got rid of ours in 1983.

Unless you are referring to something like a TV in the window of your own property, then that shouldn't be a problem.

Get the big TV, but the off brand.

You may find that tenants think they want stainless steel appliances (that's what the popular TV shows promote) until they find out they are harder to keep looking nice.

If you believe the TV shows it’s simple, go buy something and fix it and then flip it for a huge profit.
