television set

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'an entertainment medium' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.

'see its violent adaptation' is the wordplay.
'adaptation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'see'+'its'+'violent'='seeitsviolent'
'seeitsviolent' with letters rearranged gives 'TELEVISION SET'.

'as' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for television set that I've seen before include "Focal point of most home entertainment" , "Provider of home entertainment" , "See 5" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
