"La televidilo kaptas dissendojn."

Translation: The television captures broadcasts.

[Juha_Metsakallas]

I understand the idea that a television set captures signals of broadcasts, so that you can see the programs, but I am not intuitively convinced that the Esperanto word kapti can be used to express that idea. My reading of the definitions is that not even the entry 3 ,sukcesi havigi al si ion nematerian, suits here and the other ones seem have more to do with catching someone or something in a rather concrete manner.

So I would say that La televidilo ricevas dissendojn or something like that.

My first impression is that "ricevi" is no more logical than "kapti" here -- but "ricevi" does seem to have the advantage of actual use.

Captures broadcasts?!

"The television receives broadcasts" is also accepted as correct.
