Now i'm thinking whether the lingtning strikes TV through AC Power plug, or Arial plug..
AC Power line has 2 fuses equipped inside AC plug and inside the TV Unit, one of them will blow due to overloading power input to protect the TV.  In this case, repairing cost will not be expensive.
In other case, lightning strike through Arial will damage much component inside the TV.
If so, can we watch movies in the storm weather with Arial socket unplugged?

Both. In case of power line, fuse only protect for life terminal, lightning can strike through neutral cable or even earth if your earthing is not good. But it can still strike though life if your fuse is slow in reacting.
