I dont think TVs were THAT specialist when they were full o' valves


Now this is a good point. A TV of say 1960 or even earlier had pretty
straightforward circuitry so much so that I managed to convert a 1960's
era 405 line set to 625 lines and it worked very well.

Course these days a few chipset's and well, what can you do with
those?...




Reprogram them, put a different OS on, change the jumpers, quite a lot
if you want on most modern sets.


Can you give us an example as to say how you'd change the sound
intercarrier ?...

Or the vision modulation demodulation?..





However its not really worth it as you can probably buy something that
does what you want for peanuts.

Well what would be the point of that ?..
