... We had just one channel till the 1960´s, then three or four channels only and B&W till 1978! Guess I got my first color TV AND a remote control around 1978/79! Ufff!! I was thirty years old at that time! We didnt´t even dream with Video Tape recording...
... it also happened in Germany as well as here in Argentina for the World Cup held in 1978 and innaugurating the color transmisions in my Country. Cheers! Abel.
... color TV sets came from Germany with Grundig brand. Big and very heavy but it was high tech in those days! Nice to remember those old times! Cheers! Abel
