I expect I saw broadcasts prior to that walking along the street or at friend's houses, but nothing stuck in my mind. On the other hand, I was a constant reader from a very young age.

I don't remember when we got a TV. But I do remember that as far back as I can remember, we always had a TV. I had a TV in my bedroom. My Dad came home one day with a Sony TV that had a remote control. It was one of the first TVs with a remote. It turned the dials. Clunk! Clunk! As the dial changed channel.
