@LeisureCentury Oh please, "The Television Ghost" was played on American TV in 1931, years before the green teethed brits worked out how to broadcast a program....
Sorry , he was not the inventor of electronic television. Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi invented the electronic tv in 1926. UNESCO WORLD HERRITAGE Check it!
So, in a real sense, Farnsworth "invented" the All Electronic System of Television. Sadly, Farnsworth, like Armstrong before him and even Baird, never realized the rewards for their efforts that they deserved.
Philo did more than "improve" TV. He created the all electronic system and the method of synchronization needed that the EMI and Baird systems lacked. They used odd and peculiar sideband and pulse formats and a dozen other crazy methods of adding the sync signal. Farnsworths method added the sync signals into the baseband video signal and audio on a subcarrier. In otherwords, his major contribution was, as with Edisons electric light, one of a practial working system.
5 different countries can argue they invented the light bulb, car and the tv. The Brits invented some shitty thing they called a tv... without US inventors tv may still look like it did in 1936-40...
Nevertheless, Baird's 'shitty' success was the FIRST recognisable image transmitted in the world - in 1925! The BBC finally picked it up (on order of the Government!) and technical developments inevitably followed, including Baird's electronic TV improvements, including COLOUR TV before his death in 1946, all in the UK. C'mon you typical Yank, give credit where it's due!
@grahamkeithtodd We *did* have Philo Farnsworth, the guy who invented the all-electronic TV camera, so we deserve at least *some* credit...(not as much as some of my more...jingoistic fellow americans think we should, but some credit is deserved noeetheless).
@spacehelmetforacow oddly enough EMI (uk) showed a working model of a electronic television back at the IDEAL HOME EXERBISHION back in 1931..at EARLS COURT LONDON UK
the BBC ran two competing services mechanical and electronic in 1933
even the Germans ran a tv station during the 1936 games in BERLIN... no sign of a US telly station/service at that time
@grahamkeithtodd Fanrsworth had his first press demonstration of all-electronic TV in 1928.
As for TV service, the U.S. was, in fact, the first country to start regular television service, on July 2, 1928 (W3XK in Wheaton, Maryland). The U.K. was the second, starting broadcasts in September 1929.
Like it or not, Americans invented electronic television, and were the first ones to start regular broadcasts. Other countries deserve credit for their innovations, too, but we *were* first.
looks like 1 person dont watch tv

Thank our government and RCA (too much money at the time) but thank TESLA for ALL of it!

Farnsworth was an American pioneer of electronic Television and John Logie Baird was the British Pioneer of mechanical TV in the 1920s and 1930s.

saddly "improvements" are not inventions as such par se.
remember both Germany AND the uk had up and running T.V stations in 1936..
the usa did not have a TV brocaster until 1947....

for some strange reason the yanks seem to think they invented tv....

Aye. And the light bulb (German) and many other things they didn't! (That Tommy Edison wasn't half a ruthless businessman though!)

There are many significant contributions to television, not the least of which were Philo Farnsworth's improvements to the CRT and video camera.
