Representative theory of perception has used the analogy of watching television screens to explain the perception of material objects. To this analogy, there has been a wellknown objection. Contemporary representative theorists, called "New representationalism", claim to have a way out of the objection, and I shall argue that their argument is well-grounded. Seeing things through television screens can be direct perception of those things. Unfortunately, however, this argument has its own drawback, and one of the essential ideas of representative theory would have to be compromised, i.e. that the subject cannot be aware of sensedata.
