But was there another channel to change to in the days before remote control? grin


Ok, that was a silly question on my part. I just read a bit about it, and seems like the first remote control for TV was developed in 1950.

Pizzaboy (or anyone else who remembers) - how many channels actually existed in the states before 1950 then? you remember which ones?
