Why did she even bother getting a TV set? She wouldn't get much of anything as far as TV reception goes, from New York City or anywhere else. I looked up Norwich, New York on CityData.com and found that the town is over 100 miles from the nearest TV stations. Unless her area had cable (which I seriously doubt) or she had a deep-fringe TV antenna, her TV would show nothing but snow on every channel.
