been dealing with any other regions which will all have their own, specific local regulations. The situation in the UK requires a license to be held, when viewing programs as broadcast. Whereas viewing programs from archive, for example: when subsequently made available online (usually a couple of hours after the original –live- broadcast), may be watched without a license. A large percentage of British people choose to do this now, using their TVs linked to computers, or using phones. On the other hand, many don’t bother watching online ‘catch-up’ at all; instead just watching videos or DVDs, which is why the original: “……funded by an annual television licence paid by all households owning a television….”, was completely wrong and implied that owning a TV requires a license, which is not the case (in Blighty). The BBC enforcement agency take the, rather polarized, view that any premises showing TV-like light (seen by an agent through the curtains) 'must' be watching live-TV and should be licensed, which as you might imagine is raising much conflict and unjustified legal action. Thank you for your help, Zalunardo8!

addition to "television" is: (Television, however, is not solely a technology, limited to its basic and practical application. It functions both as an appliance, and also as a means for social story telling and message dissemination. It is a cultural tool that provides a communal experience of receiving information and experiencing fantasy. It acts as a “window to the world” by bridging audiences from all over through programming of stories of triumphs and tragedies that are outside of their personal experiences. ) The source is the book The Television Will Be Revolutionized by Amanda Lotz.

4830:"The first demonstration of the live transmission of images was by Georges Rignoux and A. Fournier in Paris in 1909." This is incorrect. The device used by Rignoux and Fournier was in fact a 'visual' telegraph that transmitted impulses from individual selenium cells over individual wires, that is similar to the Wheatstone telegraph that used individual wires for separate data. Images had been transmitted via telegraph from as early as the 1840s. "As far back as 1843 people had tried sending pictures over telegraph wires." Infoculture, The Smithsonian Book of the Information Age by Steven Lubar, page 64. additionally, Nipkow had transmitted images over a wire with his Nipkow disk in the 1880s. 4558: 1790: 879: 3402: 2662: 2214: 4441: 2621: 2416: 1374:

way short in clarity; especially considering so many seem to find it hard to understand license aspects relating to their own situations, which has been shown to open the door to mischief-makers on forums who seem to enjoy confusing the issue further. My suggestion would be: “households receiving live TV broadcasts”, or even: “households receiving TV live-broadcast”. As the original is so wrong, either of those would make things abundantly clear, without adding any excess to the phrase.

Satellite; could also be considered "radio frequency broadcasting", so now we have another anomaly to solve. Which is the more appropraite description for satellite connected Internet streaming? Well, it's academic really, but most interesting to see it developing into a discussion.

1540:" is the correct word. Does the formal language in the legislation help? How does UK English differentiate between current events televised as they actually happen, and those recorded and televised a short while later? And remember that this is a global encyclopaedia. It's good to avoid language that you know has a distinctly different meaning from the one you intend in countries other than your own. 4976: 5172: 4719: 4510: 4394: 3569: 3355: 3050: 2945: 2825: 2561: 2470: 2367: 2164: 2076: 2001: 1895: 1746: 956: 834: 688: 4767: 2120: 2744: 4940: 4681: 3087:"Although 3D TV sets are quite popular for watching 3D home media such as on Blu-ray discs, 3D programming has largely failed to make an inroad with the public.

I saw the template citing this issue and since there was no section here discussing it I've decided to start one.

Hello All, Thank you for following up on this; also to Nick Cooper for your update regarding the general public needing to think in terms of ‘premises’, rather than simply domestic ‘household’. With respect, I do believe that in this case the phrase: “households receiving TV broadcasts” falls a long

Even if this makes this section a lot shorter and focus less on the subject of the genres themselves, I think that will be okay.

Fellow Wikipedians, I believe the website below may help resolve this discussion.

Thus, when Vladimir Zworykin said that Boris Rosing had used selenium cells in his television, Zworykin was referring to Rosing’s early experiments. By 1911, Rosing was using vacuum tube photocells that were based on the photoelectric effect. Such tubes have a much shorter response time and are

The article, and several dictionaries, are missing "T.V." as an abbreviation. Growing up, a lot of folks used "T.V." or maybe even "t.v.", but "TV" came into vogue, as did a lot of removing of periods in abbreviations. It seems like it would be a good HISTORICAL NOTE to include "T.V." here and

The end of the 2nd paragraph introduces Smart Television and Internet Television but it confuses the Roku and Chromecast devices with services such as Netflix and Hulu. I'm also not sure iPlayer should be cited as an example given it is not well known, being restricted to the UK.

Currently the article quotes Vladimir Zworykin as stating that in 1911, Boris Rosing could not produce moving images because he was using selenium cells as light detectors and selenium responds too slowly to accurately reproduce motion. This statement is incorrect.
