They make outdoor televisions that are extremely expensive. I had a television on my covered porch for two years and now have a projector and 94" screen. (I've also had the same HD cable box outside for the entire 4 years and haven't had a problem. I was told that the cold will not hurt as much as humidity will. I did take the cover off of the projector and taped some of those sulfate packets (the ones that come in new shoes....) to the inside of the cover. Sounds crazy but an AV guy said it would help keep moisture down.
