articles after "no"

Why do we use no article after "no"?
Example: There is no TV here.
And, how does this differ from:
There is not a TV here.
or
The TV is not here.

There are several determiners with which we do not use an article. These include the demonstratives (this, that ), the possessives ( my, her, its , etc), some quantifiers ( no, every, each , etc) and the cardinal number ' one '. There is no TV here.
