A TV (TeleVision) is a large display with a built-in tuner people use to watch TV shows from OTA (Over The Air) broadcasts or shows from cable or satellite dishes or, sometimes, is used as a computer monitor.

What's a TV?

I hate 16:9 with a vengeance.

It's been unavailable for 3 days now. Anyone knows why?

There is no problem with those dependencies, they are pulled because the program needs them in order to work. They will occupy some disk space -not much- and will not cause any issues. If you install another KDE program, say Marble for ex., it will use the dependencies already installed with Kdenliv...
