Those who could afford color televisions back then had no

to change the channels for them.

There was a problem though. We always used to send the servants to
bed at nine. Father fitted bells in their rooms, but I remember our
elderly butler getting quite annoyed when he was summoned to get
up, put on his uniform, and come down to switch to Late Night Line
Up. He was, it later transpired, a crypto-Bolshevik.

You also had to be careful the help didn't see anything on TV that
might give them ideas above their station.


Oh for the good old days when all the wallah had to do was to wave cool
air over the dining table.

Philips colour TVs had remote controls in the 1970s when he did it.
People in Holland neither imported early US color TVs, nor bought
colour TVs before colour was transmitted here.

Trying to remember the first Philips TVs with remote controls. Third
generation colour sets? Just when did Holland go colour?

My first Philips TV with remote was ultrasonic
If I jingled my keys in front of the TV it would change channel

I think it was a G11?

I used to sell second hand G11s and I never saw a ultrasonic remote one
or IR come to that. the channels were tuned with a draw full of variable
resisters and positive action switches that had plastic flags behind
holes to show which one was selected. Smashing picture on a good one and
the faults were predictable and repairable. I made some good money with
those and had some happy customers. The refurbished ones were more
reliable than NEW.

So we now have the G6, G8 and G11 not having remote controls. Makes the
original story even more a myth.

If it is a myth, there are two possibilities.

The Dutch person who claimed to have done this (if he actually existed
and was not a friend of a friend of a friend of the person telling
the story) told the story to ascertain how gullible the person he
was telling the story to was, or the poster to this group was
telling it to have a good laugh at those readers in the newsgroup
gullible enough to believe it.

The story may have been inspired by the scenes of Chauncy
"I like to watch TV" Gardiner clicking his remote.

Youre wrong. The G11 had a touch tuner with remote. http://www.philipstv.org.uk/blog/g11...emote-control/
