The first box television was made January 26, 1926. John Logie Baird of Scotland was the first to come up with the idea of a "television transmitter" and created the first television using the inventions of others. The first images transmitted electrically were sent by early mechanical fax machines, including the pantelegraph, developed in the late nineteenth century.

Back then there were not many channels that you could watch on the television. The way they got a signal back then was with analog.

After the box television was around for years, no one thought that the technology would change or get better in televisions. Then came High Definition Televisions (HDTV). HDTV technology was introduced in the early 1900’s. High Definition Television (HDTV) is video resolution substantially higher than that of traditional television systems (standard definition television). High Definition Television was not discovered by one single person. High Definition Television, as we know it today, was created by a Grand Alliance of companies working together to create the next generation of television. Members of the Grand alliance included...
