SOLVED. YA about a boy who finds a TV that shows tomorrow's news. [s]

I read this book in the mid to late 70s as a young boy in Australia. It may have even been early 80s that I read it. I think it may have been set in England. A boy discovers a TV in a shop that shows tomorrow's news. The TV is a day ahead of the world and shows the future 24 hours from now. I think a few bets on the horses were placed :) I loved this book as a child.

This one seems to be set in New York but the plot matches!
A Billion for Boris by Mary Rodgers. It was published in 1974.

When Ape Face fixes a broken-down television set Boris sold to him, something unusual happens. Instead of regularly scheduled programs, this TV shows the future -- one day in advance! They get tomorrow's shows, tomorrow's movies, and tomorrow's news. Annabel thinks they should use their new TV with ESP to help people, but Boris has plans of his own.
