Your own tv?
13 Answers
For the ahem slightly older folk on here ......... Do you remember getting your first tv?
Mine was a 14 inch portable black and white, I bought it on 6 months' interest-free credit and was chuffed to bits when it was paid off (many moons ago).
Aaah, those were the days ..........

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.At the risk of stating the obvious for all you lovely ABers having the nerve to think of watching TV instead of chatting in AB, please bear in mind to buy only a digital TV from now on. Correct me if I am wrong, but think that the final switchover to digital will be in 2012, so all analogue TVs won't work after that date. Would look for the Digital sign when buying a TV set.
In case someone asks if all sets sold now are Digital, the blunt answer is THEY ARE NOT! Went to buy a combi, but could not find a digital one anywhere. Can any ABers tell me where I can find one of this illusive objects?

good grief all your sets were modern, my parents bought one in 1954, it had a great big H shaped arial, didn't work when a car went past the house, unless the car was fitted with suppressors on the spark plugs, this later became compulsory for all motorists of the day, and many repairs were effected with the fisted hand on top of the set,or wriggling the valves in the back of the set,
I've got a 14" too.
Ahem,I mean it's B & W as well.It's up in the loft under cover,so that it doesn't get damp.Miraculously, it still works.
It has it's own in built aerial.I remember using it for my old ZX Spectrum computer which I also have in my wardrobe.
In fact I have two ZX Spectrum computers.
Even they still work.I've got a huge collection of Spectrum games in boxes in the loft,and some in my bedroom.
It's been a very long time since I last played with it.
