EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this fascinating image of an Early TV Remote Control, also known as an Armchair Programme Control, manufactured by Ferranti. Dating back to the 1960s, this historical piece of television equipment represents a significant advancement in home entertainment. The remote control, which measures approximately 12 x 6 cm, came with an impressive 15 feet (4.57 meters) of cord, allowing viewers to operate their TV sets from the comfort of their armchairs. This was a major improvement over the previous method of getting up to adjust the television settings manually. The Early TV Remote Control was designed to work with both BBC and ITV channels, providing viewers with greater convenience and control over their viewing experience. The device featured simple buttons for adjusting the volume, changing the channel, and turning the TV on and off. Manufactured by Ferranti, a leading British electronics company, this Early TV Remote Control is a testament to the company's innovation and commitment to enhancing the home television experience. The remote control's sleek design and compact size were also notable features that made it a popular choice among TV owners during the 1960s. This image offers a unique glimpse into the history of television technology and the evolution of remote controls. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of convenience and control in our entertainment experiences. With the advent of smart TVs and voice-activated remotes, it's hard to imagine a time when adjusting the volume or changing the channel required getting up from the couch. This Early TV Remote Control is a must-have for any television history buff or collector of vintage electronics.
