I have a related video on YouTube you might be interested in about how television sets were sold from the 1950s-1970s entitled, "TV MAN: THE SEARCH FOR THE LAST INDEPENDENT DEALER."
Not true that "all later TV-system based on Tihanyi's system." It IS true that all modern TVs are based on the charge storage principle. This was also invented in the first workable model by Farnsworth. Patent No. 2087683.
Others claim to be the " first ones," but inventors who come after him, even in 2007, STILL reference Farnsworth's patents--even this 1927 one (Patent No. 1773980) we started the conversation with!
The apparatus of Farnsworth wasn't practicable. Therefore all later TV-system based on Tihanyi's system whic was invented in 1924. The charge storage principline. Tihanyi's invention the "Radioscop" is part of UNESCO MEMORY of The WORLD
Sorry, celebration81, but Kálmán Tihanyi never built any of his patented devices until 1928 in Berlin. And even then, there is never any record of them actually working.
The credit still goes to Farnsworth: September 7, 1927: Demonstrated and documented the system for his co-workers. September 3, 1928: Demonstrated and documented the system for the newspapers. August 25, 1934: Ten day exhibition to the public.
Way too many very public and verifiable demonstrations to count.
It is a device that uses a rotating disc with holes on it to interrupt light,about 12 times a second.The disc was spun by a motor,which was kind of noisy.

Sorry , he was not the inventor of electronic television. Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi invented the electronic tv in 1926. UNESCO MEMORY OF THE WORLD Check it!
UNESCO (United Nations) international patent offices and Nobel comitee created the award: Memeory of the World. Memory of the world considered Hungarian Kálmán Tihanyi as the first inventor of electronic TV. Tihanyi was the only inventor, who could create good quality pictures in the 1920's. Farnsworth and other american inventors created bad quality laughable TV-systems.
I DID "check it." UNESCO doesn't give Tihanyi "priority of invention," as it is called, (which I might add, they have no authority to do based on jurisdiction OR time elapsed) until 1928.
Just search UNESCO MEMORY OF THE WORLD with Kálmán Tihanyi's name to see for yourself. He's the first "Google" result.
That's right. Farnsworth. Idea conceived 1922 (according to the verifiable historical record). Patent applied January 7, 1927. Everything built and running by September 7, 1927.
Hahahaha, Tihanyi's First Publication: 1924, Patent 1926. Later televisions did not based on Farsworth's idea. Farnswort's idea proved blind alley, the originator of his idea was Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton (Times 1908), but hi didn't patented it. Tihanyi's system was very different TV system, the only what proved successful.
If you could see me, you'd see me shaking my head . . .
First of all, Campbell-Swinton's letter was published in the 18 June 1908 issue of NATURE. Of course there were other people talking about the "possibility" of using cathode ray tubes for TV before Farnsworth, that's not the point. The point is Farnsworth was the first one to figure out how to do it! AND HE WAS THE FIRST ONE TO MAKE IT WORK!
Two VERY important points to consider when trying to decide who invented TV.
Gene Roddenberry thought up hand-held "communicators" with a flip-top that could transmit a planet-wide signal. And then he put them on his 1967 TV show called 'Star Trek,' but that doesn't mean he "invented" the cellular phone.
Thinking of something and going, "Hey, wouldn't it be neat . . ." doesn't make you its inventor. Drawing up a picture doesn't even do that. Thinking up exactly how to turn a thing from a dream into a reality, and then ACTUALLY DOING IT, that makes you an inventor.
When other men, like Tihanyi, and Zworykin, spent years either with patents on machines that had no working models, or 15 YEARS IN PATENT APPLICATION PROCESS because even their designs didn't add up, that doesn't count as a blind alley?
Trial and error, that's how invention works. Farnsworth's first design was more suited to industrial use, but his 1933 patent held the seeds of every TV that RCA sold--and RCA had the lease receipts to prove it.
Current analog TV was called "high-definition TV" when it first replaced this mechanical system; maybe for a retronym it should be "medium-definition TV"?
Still more exciting then the O.C.
