Early televisions were not built for anything but broadcasts, so early consoles recreated that hardware in miniature. It was possible to stick an antenna in the right place and make 2600 or NES output appear on your neighbor's screens.

"So even though the NES generates a television signal inside of it, there's just no way to transmit it to your TV... legally."
