There are flat screens, plasma screens, big screens, under cabinet TVs and more. You can find TVs in virtually any room of house, even garage and you can even find TVs in automobiles and handheld versions that a person can carry in their pocket. The television has even acquired several nicknames such as idiot box, boob tube and goggle box.Although most people may not be able to remember a time before there was TV, they are actually a fairly recent invention. The first TV was patented in 1928 and after laboratory tweaking and perfecting, TV became available to consumer market in 1945. The first TVs were in black and white and were expensive. The average home could not afford one. Now we have color TVs of every shape and size in virtually every house. TV programs are broadcast either live or prerecorded. Most shows today are prerecorded. Some things are still shown live such as sports games. For prerecorded shows, videotape is principle method of recording. Although quality of videotape and equipment has progressed over years, basic idea is same. If you have an older TV, can remember older TVs or still use an antenna to pick up your stations, you may be familiar with VHF and UHF. These were used on older television dials to choose channel before digital and remote use came along. VHF stands for very high frequency and UHF is ultra high frequency. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) designated 12 channels to VHF and 56 channels to UHF.
