It must be ON television. In store means something you can expect or that is waiting for you.

Hi Alan,
I think the word "television" must link with "screen"? Is there any idiom expression while using "what's in store in the television.."? Please explain more.
Thank you very much |

what if i say "What`s in store for dinner?" Does it mean I want to know what`s prepared for dinner?
Or If I`m at work and i ask somebody "what`s in store to do?"
It`s just a doubt i have, sorry if "si no viene al caso"
If i write something in spanish that i don`t know how to write in english would you mind translating it for me please? |

I'm nit-picking here, but I suppose this is the place for it.

When speaking of the future as a noun, don't forget to include a modifier like "the" or "a":
- I'd like to know what the future has IN STORE for me;)
- Do we have a future together, Tom?
- The future is ahead of the past.
etc.
If it was a simple typo, I apologize.

Si no viene al caso = if it's beside the point. |

Conchita is really the one to ask, but:
Me gustaria saber lo que el futuro tiene reservado para mi = I'd like to know what the future has reserved for me.
Me gustaria saber lo que el futuro tiene preparado para me = I'd like to know what the future has prepared for me.
I lean toward "reservado/reserved" -- I think that it's closer in meaning to "in store" than "preparado/prepared".
Creo que "reservado" es mejor que "preparado".

All your translations are fine. Another verb often used in this expression is 'deparar' -- it has become a collocation, really:
Me gustar?a saber lo que el futuro me depara (me reserva/me tiene preparado). |

| Hi Allen, just wondering why you use "the store" instead of "screen" for tv? |
