  • Hundreds of channels and still nothing but crap on!

  • @MIKON8ERISBACK @ 0:44 Those are 300 Ohm twin-lead connections. One pair of screw terminals are for input, and one pair of screw terminals are for output.

    These are the oldest terminal input styles, decades before shielded coxial cable was common. The later cable company signals needed coaxial shielding to preserve signal quailty over long distances.

  • What's with the four 1K ohm connectors at 0:44? Was that designed to get around the need for coaxial cables, and before the FCC's updated bandplans?

  • my first hdtv was may 2002 it cost 2000.00 dollars 50" 16by9 1080i

  • @pannoni1 Actually, HDTV was invented in Japan in the early 1970s. The earliest article on Google's News Archive about it's prospects was in the March 12, 1981 issue of the Toledo News-Blade. It's almost as old as the Internet when you think about it.

  • VCRs came out in the 70s not the 80s. And you forgot Video Discs and rental video tapes. Or are you planning on putting those in the 90s?

  • you forget the 90's and 2000's.i want to learn about the lcds and plasma HDTVs.

  • were is the 90's or 2000's

  • IBM PC

  • Sometime in the late 1980s, the first talks about HDTV surfaced.
