Pulling the aerial connection out of the back of the TV during a thunderstorm.
In case of a lightning strike to the TV Ariel on the chimney.

Probably a urban myth that it would have made much difference 😁😁😎😎
I have a friend who still does this every single night 'just in case' and has done in the 25+ yrs I've known her.

She's still single 😁
