It depends on your insurance company but most home owners policies do not require a receipt. The thought is that the item being claimed is proof that you own it.

Likely what will begin is that the adjuster will do an internet search for the exact model of your tv and give you the price he finds.

Most household policies automatically provide unintended damage cover to non-portable TV's. The fact that you haven't get the receipt should not be a major problem as the insurers will ask for the exact generate and model to assess the value.

Most insurers have deal with electrical retailers and I image that if your TV is mot repairable they will instruct them to provide you near the equivalent model of your TV as a replacement. Source(s): Broker with 30 years experience.

Yes, as long as you hold accidental damage cover your insurance policy will state that you are entitled to replacement within similar type and quality. If you cannot find proof of the value later the insurance company will either ask for quotes for replacement or will get a valuation themselves. Unless the set is repairable, contained by which case you have to adopt that.
Depends who you are insured with and what your policy covers
