Are Landlords Obliged To Provide A Tv Aerial ?

A new tenant has reported her tv isn't working. I know I used cable when I lived there but can't remember if that was immediately or if there's an aerial. Subsequent tenants got SKY installed, at their own expense, so the subject never came up.
Do I *have* to get an aerial installed ? I don't mind the tenant getting one installed, at their expense.

Unless you advertised the property to rent as having a TV aerial (and associated cabling) available for use, you're under no obligation to provide one.
