Todays #TVTat No 4
New Arrival at AVAV Towers
OnDigital Promo Mug. Never seen one before
Will add to related pile of OnDigital Tat. Inc PoS material, Illuminated Dealer Ship Sign etc
OnDigital was short lived Brand of Digital Terrestrial TV in UK
Coverage was poor & encoding was absolutely shit
It soon went bust, to be replaced by ITV Digital. It soon went bust too - crippled by dodgy cards - which were funded by Murdoch, with the intention of causing it to fail. Bastard
Its now Freeview
Todays #TVTat No 3
Wall Socket and Cable from British Relay
“TV by Wire” started in the 60s, mostly New Towns, which were fairly easy to cable during construction
Most areas had 4 TV Channels - BBC 1 & 2, newly launched ITA (ITV) & second neighbouring Regional ITA Service
8 Radio Channels were offered, Inc Radio Luxembourg in the evening
You could subscribe to just the Service or Rent a compatible TV. It offered Colour from day one in ‘67
We’ve gone full circle
Todays #TVTat No 2
From the days of TV Rentals
I expect from the back sides of a Vauxhall Cavalier Van
Rediffusion Panels
Yeah, I know, but I saw them, they were going to be smashed & binned. So…..
Todays #TVTat No 1
Quiet day at AVAV Towers, brace for a stream of TV related #OldTat
Decided to get cracking with Digitising piles of MTV, VH1, BSB Power Station, MCM EuroMusique VHS Tapes
It may not look like it by todays standards, VHS, on decent deck, viewed on CRT looks ok
Its all we had
Posties been with more #TVtat
I’m not about to start collecting ties, that’s the last thing I, or those near n dear, need
But tell me you’d have left it if you’d seen it
It’s Friday, 7pm, could still be a big night if you Play Your Cards Right
