TELEVISIONS There are 3 TV's in this home and they are all equipped with cable.
General note: TV's may be equipped with HDMI ports for plug-in streaming devices (such as Amazon FireSticks or Roku sticks). While many TVs this day and age have built-in streaming services that do not require a plug-in device, we cannot guarantee this feature on televisions in our rental properties, and therefore we recommend if streaming content is important to you, that you bring your own streaming devices/sticks just in case.
