The English people were so smart.They knew how to do so many things.

We have a communal antenna system it's called an master antenna system because I live in an apartment building we have a satellite dish and over the area aerial and the signal is received on the satellite dish and the main antenna and it gets distributed throughout our building it's called an MATV system MSATV that's how I receive television in my apartment building with only needing one aerial

One could say that Rediffusion was the distant relative to today's IPTV.

And in these days, television relay has returned and is nationwide! Television is now piped into the home and increasingly radiated over the air to receivers that also function as transmitters. Programmes from across the world are delivered either through the wire or from local transceiver stations located across the country. And on these new interconnected networks, or internet, every home can serve as its own broadcasting station! Sending their signals not only to their local city, but to every land and territory in the world! Even you could produce and broadcast your own programmes, over the wire or the air, to the massive worldwide interconnected network of relays stations, or servers as they are known in the language of this new excting world, hosted quite simply everywhere! In every city, in every town, in every village, in every country! In fact, over he air, one can broadcast out and about using small, handheld computer terminals.

5:36 Well isn't that an unfortunate 5 seconds of video...

They use microwave satellite links now days they send the signal from london to all the sites buy a microwave link smaller sites relay from the main trasnmitter in the area so fm radio 2 is broadcast from London then a trasnmitter in Scotland picks up it up and sends it to Scotland Wales and Northern Ireland so the principal is the same but no cables mostly wirless and further range

Can't believe WWII was 9 years ago now

If you lived in London in the middle 70s onwards British Relay would pipe through an extra channel Southern TV 📺⭐️

I am taking advice from this for my vegetable in the present moment.

John peters now on BOOM RADIO

I remember my dad holding the Ariel at loads of different angles to get a picture in the 1960s for our rented TV lol.

Why didn’t Rediffusion and British Relay make space for community radio or television stations? They could have catered to other interests not served by the BBC or itv, such as Irish, Asian or Chinese communities, Alternative subcultures & people who have tastes outside the mainstream. Things like Forteana, experimental music, etc.

“TOFFIHS!” 🤣

Never mind the chocolate Carnival, let me at the lemon Neapolitan! Never heard of that before (I was five at that time)... though I do vaguely remember an apple and pear ice cream block which was green (pear) with a red semi-circle of apple flavour.

I remember the system........today 2023 my television has been turned off for 39 year due to PR ... instead I have hundreds of selective DVDs.....many years ago would tune in to TWW midlands etc

So many RCA 88s......I have two myself

The original 301m/999KHz transmitter at Trowell closes next week along with 945KHz in Derby at Quarndon which were the frequencies for GEM AM currently a relay of GOLD

THE CARTOON DRAWLING LOOKS LIKE FRANK PERCIVIL

Its a pity they did not screen the cables separately so you could watch 1 program at a time 😂😂😂 You always seen one channel over the other

"North British " ? ..........

Where are we meant to see any of this?

So they’ve found this And 12 years later The general public has never had a chance to see it So why bother? What is the point?

Great film. Shame about the three unnecessary and intrusive on-screen clock/channel label/REF No. Ruins it in my opinion...

I love listening to these .

I can remember as a kid in Bristol we had rediffusion tv. It gave 3 tv channels and (I think) 4 radio channels, the tv picture was very good. I think that rediffusion was bought by Robert Maxwell, so no more needs to be said.

I wonder if anyone has a pic of one of the early TV sets from Link Sound & Vision please.. We were on of the early adopters in Gloucester in what I thought was late 1940s. Thanks

I worked for British Relay in the Canning Town branch. We had three engineers and four linesmen. The senior linesman had a Morris Minor van but the other three had a push cart. Looking back that would be unthinkable now. We had to share Thursday evening IE every three weeks to sit in the control room until 10 PM to give the manager an evening off. This was to monitor the sub station in case it failed and we could switch over to the spare. Lovely and warm with all those large Klystron valves behind the chair. Similarly we had to work Sunday afternoons on rotation. As the docks in Canning Town were situated over a bridge BR could never get wayleave to wire the houses in Victoria Dock Rd. So people who rented sets were not piped and the signal was atrocious. Every time a boat came in or went out the signal used to fade in and out. Must have cost BR a fortune in providing large aerial arrays for them Billy Bines the foremen was often at his wits end in trying to solve aerial problems. Looking back they were very happy days and if Jimmy Heard ever reads this I would like to say hello from Ted. I ended up as qualified engineer and eventually a service director working for private TV Radio & TV shops.

This was before the word "gay" became bastardize!

Fasinating

We got electricity in 1994 which was available only for 8 hours in a day.

Capital rubbish more like.cheers me duck

Takes me back to my childhood. I understand Mary Holland is alive and well... good for her.

Excellent old video that I enjoyed watching. I've gardened for most of my life and tillers and other machinery made it much easier than the people in this video had it. Might not have been so bad when I was 30 but I'm more than twice that now and think I'll stick to container gardening.

NEVER knew this add existed!!! So another gem unearthed!! .. F-A-B!!👍😉

Why is the only television station BBC? BBC is so corrrupt. It’s disturbing how much money they’ve made off people.

Fantastic

Some people believe in eating seasonally. You only eat what is naturally available. Makes what you do eat the freshest, most nutritious and generally grown locally. Plus gives you something to look forward to in the coming months when you get fresh fruit or vegetables of a different type.

...those were the days, when they told you the price of what they were advertising!

During WW2 onions were a treasure for the British during the war. You could win one as a prize, is how rare they were. At least for the common person anyway.

...Loved Radio Trent, even went to the station on a couple of occasions to buy some merchandise! Sadly with the increase of multiple choice specialist stations on the inferior DAB digital platform, many cities have lost their identity with local stations being absorbed into a network!

All that work. No wonder we all just go to Lidl. I wonder what those people would think if they knew that in this century we bought food from German supermarkets in England

Light on potatoes will cause them to go green, which can be toxic.

15:15 television's modern look 😂😂 Someone should have told them the future is wireless, not wired.

Farming is farming where ever you live but, of course temps.,seasons & soil very greatly. Where I live here in USA, we have. App. 6-7 months of sub zero & snow( that might be a good year!).

I have several myself and if I had more time I would have more. Last night I made spaghetti guess what I put in my sauce fresh basil that I grow myself I felt like I had something to do with that and it made me feel good. And my husband liked it

I remember when gardening was ridiculed by those who thought themselves genius. In fact people were made to feel inferior and incompetent and incompetent if they had a family garden. They were thrown numbers like 25% of a household food which could only feed a household of 4. But what I say to them You're just jealous. When Cuba Was at its lowest point under a dictatorship is tatership people banned together together and used every piece of their lawn and even the roofs of their houses to grow food. It was the people who saved Cuba it was those small 25% small family gardens that brought Cuba back backup from the grave. Plants are living And yes it takes time to get food from a plant. But the reward is a blessing a gift from God brought out by the sun

Wow

Wasn't this the most beautiful time.
