		A semi-mechanical analogue television system was first demonstrated in London in February 1924 by John Logie Baird and a moving picture by Baird on October 30 1925.
		The earliest television sets were radios with the addition of a television device consisting of a neon tube with a mechanically spinning disk (the Nipkow disk, invented by Paul Gottlieb Nipkow) that produced a red postage-stamp size image.
		Television in its original and still most popular form involves sending images and sound over radio waves in the VHF and UHF bands, which are received by a receiver (a television set).

		Almost two-thirds of digital viewers found interactive services easy to use, but 28% found the opposite to be true in their experience.

		All because it's for digital use, doesn't mean it supports the same services as that used by a whole different provider and different infrastructure of service.
		Even on TV ads for example an advert for the chemical brothers new album was on and you could press red and listen to various tracks from it, all selectable from the remote.
		Most now use RED to mean "go up a menu level" (but call it INDEX), while the BBC is the odd man out in using YELLOW and calling it "BACK" (which confusingly does not go back to the previously viewed page like it would on a computer web browser program).
