Skill building
Televisions can be used to improve the player's skills. To do this, the player must be in the same room as the television whilst it is set to Life and Living TV (channel 203). When a skill building show is running, the player will passively gain experience in the show/episode's dedicated skill.
Lore
- Main article: Knox Event
Template:Spoilers Televisions (along with radios) are currently the only way to learn more about the lore behind Project Zomboid. There are several individuals from Triple-N, WBLN News and TURBO, each with their own views on the events unfolding within the Exclusion Zone. All reporters are situated outside the zone, causing their reports to rely solely on rumours and government officials; until images, stories and even survivors begin to find their way beyond the exclusion border (along with the infected).
VHS tapes
Players may also use a VHS tape with an appropriate television to reduce the player's boredom and/or, in the case of some tapes, to provide skill experience points. It is important to note that an antique television is incapable of utilising VHS tapes, a Premium Technologies or Valutech television is required. The two main types of VHS are "Home VHS", featuring home recordings from camcorders of TV shows, sports games etc., these are the ones that will lower boredom but most will not build skills. There are then also "Retail VHS", these will reduce boredom whilst also building skills. You cannot rewatch the same tapes to gain the benefits.
