Britain’s oldest working television the 1936 Marconiphone, is thought to have been made in the months that Britain’s first “high-definition” television service began.

The TV set belongs to Jeffrey Borinsky a collector of antique television and radio sets.

He bought the 12-inch screen 10 years ago and is still working on restoring it to its original state.

Mr Borinsky said: “The cabinet was beautifully restored by the previous owner, but my aim is to gradually restore its electronics to its true 1936 magnificence.”

He has now hooked it up to a Freeview box so that it can show digital channels, but Mr Borinsky has had to install a standards converter so that a modern television signal can be seen.

The grandson of television pioneer John Logie Baird says this set would have been of huge interest when it was first bought at a cost of 60 guineas – £11,000 today.

He says: “Television was a very exciting thing; it was something that the whole neighbourhood would come over to watch. People would crowd into the home of the owner.”

Wow what a great piece of history, it is safe to say that technology has come along way since then.

But if you’d rather just see this sort of old style in museum, then perhaps Giant Buyer’s vast LCD and Plasma television range is a more suitable choice.

According to GFK research, Samsung has claimed the number one position in the UK for television sales for the second year running.

Andy Griffiths, VP of CE for Samsung UK is predictably thrilled and said “It just shows that Samsungs offering in this market is stronger than ever.”

As reported by us in an earlier blog, Samsung is expected to the first brand to release LED LCD TVs into the UK featuring Yahoo’s new TV widget platform in March 2009.

Samsung is to launch internet-enabled LCD TV sets in partnership with Yahoo allowing users to access the internet whilst watching TV, all controlled by the TV remote control in an user friendly format.

Thanks to the Yahoo Widget Engine, TV users can access internet content such as eBay, MySpace, Flickr, Yahoo News and more as new widgets are being developed.

Samsung LCD TVs with the Yahoo Widget Engine are to be available in about four months in Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland, and the United States.

Boo-Keun Yoon, executive vice-president of the visual display division at Samsung Electronics, said the new service would allow viewers to interact with web services on a level "way beyond" passively watching broadcasts. "It is no doubt the future of TV," he said.

If you just managed to get your hands on a 42-inch TV you better enjoy it now because according to Sharp your TV will be old hat by 2015.

The prediction is based on the sales numbers in the last 12 months, sales of 46-inches TVs and above have risen 272% suggesting big screen TVs are becoming the norm rather the exception. Other screen TV sizes have also increased sales, 40-42 inch TVs sales are up 123% and 37-inch TVs sales are up 308%.

Mr Mike Gabriel, Head of Marketing and Communications for Sharp Electronics UK, said:

“Big screens are no longer for just shop windows or shiny office receptions. The demand for HD-ready 1080p picture quality in the home has led to an increase in both the affordability and availability of larger TVs. People can now expect a home cinema experience from their TV and technology that was once associated with the rich and famous is now accessible to homes across the country.”

The only problem with this mega sized TVs is where to put them as our houses continue to have the same size rooms.
