How do you transfer recorded television programs from a DVR satellite receiver to my computer? ?

I have a Dish Network DVR receiver and want to save my programs onto my computer so I can record them onto DVD's etc. Can I do this with just audio/video component cables and some software? Any step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated. (I already have my computer on my television, but it is on a different input then my satellite receiver)

You will need a video capture device, if you don't have one or a tuner.

Where can I watch french television shows online?

I'm going to be spending the following school year in France via a Foreign Exchange program- I'm feeling very under prepared, so my French teacher has encouraged me to watch as much French Television as possible as a tool to learn.

Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

you can go to www.tf1.fr. It is the website of a very popular channel in France called TF1. It is like CNN in the us. you can watch news, shows and everything there. I love that website. It allows me to keep track of whatever is happening in France.

Good luck.

Have you heard about the french phenomenon called Têtes à Claques?

It's actually French Canadian, from Quebec, but has become a hit in other french speaking countries.

The clips are funny and short, they are all streaming videos.

How do I get into television/radio voice-overs?

You know, never see the face, but hear the voice on adverts on the television and radio.

Who do I contact for a possible voice test?

If you think you have a voice that could be good enough, make a "demo tape" of radio commercials, and start with local radio stations. (It's much easier to break into the business at a lower level. If you have exceptional talent, you will move up fast.

You have to have the voice. Research Mike Rowe

I started in radio by being a part time board operator. I got more hands on experience than a 4 year broadcastind school. but its best to start in a smaller market because your exposed to more acpects of the business

If your a famous actor or have a good voice.

Try signing up with a stage school or join an agency to do stage extras and adverts. Think you need an EQUITY card to get a speaking part in the UK.

You need a portfolio of photographs and to show what work you have done.

If you can read well, follow direction, have a good voice, or a unique voice hire an agent.

You work they get paid - you don't work you and the agent don't get paid.

What are some good Japanese Television shows?

I just finished watching Last Friends and thought it was probably the best tv show I have seen in a very long time. I was wondering if anyone could recommend any other really good Japanese television shows. I watch any genre. Looking for live action, as I already watch a lot of anime.

Yes, Last Friends was really good. Most Japanese televisions shows consist of about 11 one hour long episodes. I really like that because they are designed to have a beginning a middle and an end not like American shows that just go on until they are not profitable and then end without resolution.

I would recommend the following. I suggest a website called crunchyroll.com. They have tone of Asian drama's you can watch for free.

G.T.O.

This is based on a popular manga and well acted. I would best describe this as a High School drama about an unlikely punk turned teacher. Very cool drama.

Sekai no Chuushin de wo sakebu

This is a very sad story that won a lot of awards. It is about a man who can't let go of the past love he had as a teenager to a young to a beautiful young girl with leukemia. 17 years later he returns to his hometown and tried to deal with it. It's a story that will stick with you long after you have seen it.

Densha Otoko

This is pure romantic comedy. It is about a complete nerd who helps a beautiful woman on the train when a drunk is harassing her. A very unlikely love story develops as he details his progress and seeks help from a diverse strange and fun group of strangers cheering him on via his blog. This is supposedly based on a true story. I don't know anybody who has seen this and not loved it.

Trick:

Trick is part mystery, part detective, part comedy. An uknown magician and a professor are thrown together by a series of circumstances to team up and debunk mysteries like fake profits and stuff. You actually learn some cool magic tricks and how they are done and the interaction among the two actores is great.

Gokusen

This is a High School drama about a new teacher with a secret. She is the granddaughter of a Yakuza crime family. Her unusual background errupts in some hilarious ways but her heart is 100% dedicated to becoming a great teacher. The story revolves around her winning over the kids who are known to be the worst students in the school (maybe in Japan) while protecting her secret as it would cause her to be fired. I really recomend this drama as well.

I hope these will get you started. I have seen so many I lost count. There are really a ot of amazing drama's

Also consider: Hana Kimi, Hana Yori Dango, Yamato Nadeshiko, Last Christmas, Love Generation, and Tokyo Love Story.

There's tons of great Japanese shows out there, but here's a few of my favorites in particular:

- Hana Kimi (This is based off of a manga, there's tons of different versions, Chinese, Taiwanese, and Japanese. I personally enjoyed the Taiwanese version the best because I thought it was the most funny and enjoyable. But it's based off a Japanese manga.)

- Hana Yori Dango (Another Japanese drama based on a manga! Seeing a trend here? Very cute.)

- Tokyo Friends (Japanese drama. It's very heart warming but funny as well. But most of all I like it because it has Ai Otsuka as the main character, one of my favorite jpop singers!)

- Ouran High School Host Club (Probably the best Japanese anime ever. Very light hearted, funny but also emotional at points. A must-watch.)

- Death Note (Anime. Very action involved and such an interesting plot line. You probably heard of it before, but anyway , watch it!)

- Fruits Basket (Anime. Very unique plot, one of my favorites.)

Well those are a few I'd recommend more but I need to go do homework now! ^__________^

P.S. You can find most of these dramas/animes on YouTube, if not, try Veoh.com

Last Friends was awesome (^w^)

Other dramas that I love are Hanazakari no Kimitachi e (hilarious~), Hana yori dango(1 of the best), 33pun Tantei (super stupid but hilarious), 1 Liter of Tears(T^T), 14sai no Haha(T^T), Gokusen 1,2,3(BEST DRAMAS EVER), Anego (>..<

and the best japanese movies are Lovely Complex (hilarious...), Koizora (T^T), and Virgin snow

How can I fix my Television after a car speaker was next to it?

I set my car speaker next to my televsion and now the coloring on my television is ruined.My cousin told me it was because I had my car speaker too close to it, something having to do with the magnet in the speaker.

Your cousin is correct as far as that goes. However, the damage is not permanent. All that has happened is that parts of the set have become slightly magnetized.

All modern TVs have a "degaussing" coil built in. It demagnetizes the screen on each power-on from "cold" (rapidly turning the set on and off will not work, it has to be off for about 15 minutes). It is designed to take care of small magnetic fields caused by movement through the Earth's field. However in time it will probably eliminate the discoloration.

If you are impatient, ask around your techie friends to see if one of them owns a handheld degaussing coil. If all else fails you can buy one for less than the cost of a service call. PC repair shops might have them too, as they used to be needed to degauss CRT-type PC monitors.

You absolutely do not need to replace the screen.

Yup that is why home speakers are shielded so the magnet can not cause interference or cause damage to the screen of the television. generally you can send it to the manufacturer and pay to have a new screen installed but it would be just about as much to just buy a new one.

Is it hard to be accepted for the Academy of Cinema and Television?

I am going to audition for acceptance into the Academy of Cinema and Television, can anyone out there give me any good advice on getting accepted?

It is one of the top schools in Phoenix, AZ, and I don't want to be turned down. What does it take to be accepted? Good cold reading skills? A certain commercial look? What??? Help!!!

The Academy of Cinema and Television is an extraordinary place where youngsters with raw talent in the performing arts can come to learn and grow, a place that will nurture and challenge your natural talent, and awaken a lifelong thirst for theatrical knowledge.

Admission is based on evidence of not only raw talent, but a serious attitude toward learning about the performing arts.

During the audition and interview, we will explain our program and explore the applicant's particular desires and talents. Prospective students can improve their potential of being accepted by arriving at the audition ready to follow directions and demonstrate any natural talent.

The Academy of Cinema and Television are private schools for the performing arts. We focus on acting, modeling, singing and dancing. We are extremely proud of our continued commitment to education, and helping our students earn, and maintain, an edge over their competition in the entertainment industry. Staff members at the Phoenix school, will be more than happy to answer any questions an applicant may have prior to their audition date. Just call 602-261-5800.

Our staff members do their best to help our applicants succeed! You are obviously sincere in your desire to enter our school, this is in your favor, so don't be shy about asking staff for some insight into our audition process. Plus, you may want to view some of the posts on our blog regarding auditioning, here is the blog URL: http://academyofcinemaandtv.com/blog

This response to only self serving websites and therefor unreliable http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080109095041AAKdNt6&kid=QodwJ2TBJHFzqFn3aZbh&s=comm&date=2008-02-10+17%3A49%3A49&.crumb=

Seems to me the Academy of Cinema and Television would be looking for some "natural talent" as well as wanting to know you are sincere.

Acting is a talent that you improve by practicing it, as is most of the performing arts. As I've often heard said, "there are no small parts--only small actors."

Don't be affraid of the audition process. If you have to audition more than once to get in, there is nothing wrong with that! Auditioning is certainly a big part of the performing arts. Seem like you must audition for everything -- right down to a simple walk-on part in a stage play! So get used to auditioning.

You don't mention your age. So more difficult to answer you, but assuming you are at least high school age, you'll want to have half-way decent grades, especially in English and the arts, and have some basic talent in one of the performing arts -- I would think.

Some things I believe you can do to ensure acceptance into any good performing arts school would include the following:

1. Read lots and lots of plays.

2. Polish the talents you know you have -- if you are a singer, get one good song down-pat. If a dancer, have a routine ready. If an actor, have a scene prepared to do at the drop of a hat. If modeling is your thing, keep in mind the height requirements for success. 5"9 to 5"11 to be a fashion model, but look at Kate Moss and Heidi Klum, both 5' 7" and really good at what they do.

3. Call the school and ASK what you can do to improve your chances of being accepted!

I went and looked at the Web site for the Academy of Cinema and Television in Phoenix, appears that many children from this private school are working in the performing arts. Good luck to you!

You can only be who you are, give it your best shot, and you may well be accepted.

There are many different styles of persona looked for, and there is no set style which will get you selected.

As I said do your utmost Best, and best of luck.

What is the news on a movie or television studio in the state of Michigan?

I am from the state of Michigan around the Detroit area and I have came across some news that a movie or television studio is coming here. I am a theater major at Oakland Community College and I am looking about going into film and television. What is the name of the studio and where is it going to be locate at? I am hoping that studio will be locate in Detroit. Which I think it is great area for it. Any info will do. Thank you

Whitney,

Lots of rumers so far. Sterling Hgts and Wixom old auto plants have been mentioned.

You might find answers and employment on the State of Michigan website.

If I have lots of experiences of working in television so that would be likely to get a job in television?

Or do I have to get qualifications for working in television?

I think qualifications are useful but lots of experiences would be more likely to get a job because many companies are looking for experienced people who has been working in television before....

Any comment? Please put and put if you have any advise or useful information. Thanks.

To put it simply, to get into this sort of career, you are going to NEED a degree. It doesn't matter how much experience you think you have, if you don't have a degree basically saying you were trained in that sort of career path, they're not just going to take you and hire you.

But it also depends on what you're trying to do. Saying you want to "work in television" is a very broad statement. What do you want to do? Be a reporter? An anchor? A camera woman? An actress? An extra? A game show host? A talk show host? What do you want to do?

If you were asked to go on an interview they would without a doubt take the person with the credentials over you.

Yes, some career paths are based on experience, not necessarily schooling, but any sort of media, television, communications, journalism path, you need a degree.

Every ones got to start somewhere...if you have any experience that's better than someone with none.

Just put yourself out there get an agent, take classes get hands on training, and the whole deal.

Good luck.

To what extent does television influence childrens behaviour in a negative way?

Do you believe media effects such as violence, crime and particular phrases shown on television can effect children in a negative way?

Yes. Children are great imitators.

What type of degree is best for someone wanting to get into writing for television and such?

What type of degree is best for someone who wants to write for television, movies and such?

I know you can get a degree in something called Video Production, but that seems to focus a lot more on the technical side of things rather than the creative side. and is there any difference between a degree in that and one in "Cinematography and Video Production"?

Would a BA degree in Cinema and Television Arts, be the best,? or is there something more specific out there for what I want to do.

Thanks,

The best, would be a masters in journalism, from a well known and respected university.

It sounds like you want a degree in Screenwriting. If your local colleges don't offer that, i would suggest seeing if they had a way for you to double major in Creative Writing and Cinema and Television Arts.

If you are wanting to write for movies and such, taking a few classes in Cinematography will really help you to understand how the directors interpret the scripts you will be writing.

good luck!

Well, you will just go on strike and ruin our TV season anyways. Tom Stoppard didn't go to college. He taught himself theoretical physics from books instead. And wrote some great plays.

My school (Ithaca College) has a great communications school, where you can major in Television-Radio with a concentration in scriptwriting. That sounds like the kind of thing you would be interested in. I would recommend looking around at good communications schools, because they would probably have similar programs.

If it is specifically writing for film and tv you want to do then I would suggest a joint degree where half of it is media studies based and the other half is creative writing based.

I second the Screenwriting program/major. Rather than look to liberal arts colleges, you would probably want to focus on going to an arts school. Tisch at NYU has a television writing department, so other arts schools may as well. Also, I know that several sitcom/sketch comedy writers (for SNL, Conan, etc.) have political science/history degrees, explaining their ability to satirize political/current events. So basically, it depends on what type of medium you are leaning toward. Also, I would attempt to go to a school that's close to a studio/show where you could eventually intern.

What television services/televisions are going to be phased out within the next few years?

I'm getting a new television. Someone told me that some tv's or services are going to be obsolete. He didn't explain himself fully. Can someone please elaborate on this, as I don't know the full details? Do I need to get a HD tv or can I still get a CRT tv? I'm confused. Thanks!

Here's what I think he was trying to say: the federal government has mandated that analog broadcasting (regular TV) be replaced by digital broadcasting in a few years. The date for this keeps getting pushed back, but I think the year will be 2009 (not sure about that). Now, notice I said *DIGITAL* broadcasting, not *HD*: the two are not the same thing (even though it's true that more digital broadcasting is going to HD format). Eventually you will either have to get a digital format TV or wait for the manufacturing companies to come out with the digital-to-analog set-top conversion boxes (IMHO the date keeps getting pushed back because they're waiting for those converters).

Fortunately, if you really do like CRT's then there is good news: there really is such a thing as an HD/digital CRT TV (I should know - I've had to repair several of them under warranty).

Channels 2-13 will be gone. All new TV sets 27" and above MUST have the newer ATSC digital tuner built in. You can, indeed still get a CRT TV, If you choose not to go HD, the set will need to be SD (standard definition) in order to be useful after the implementation of the new regulations. These sets are still digital, just not capable of the High Definition picture. The HD signals will be down-converted to play in the SD sets, as well.

HD IS THE FUTURE TV WILL BE HD IN THE FUTURE, CRT IS STILL A GOOD DEAL FOR NOW AS WELL.

Picture tube TV sets....or CRT TV sets....

Because the technology is older it may actually be available in Latin American countries while it disappears in the US and Canada....more people are moving towards LCD and DLP and Plasma TV sets.

Why does my ear pop whenever I lay on the other one when I watch television?

Whenever I watch television and I'm laying on my couch on my side, the ear facing up makes sounds like pounding in my ear. It hurts after a while and it has been going on for maybe a few months. Do you know what might cause this?

to answer this question fully, I would have to know "how" you have it set up. mostly are you using and HDMI cable? Well My first suggestion is to check all your connections. Then, try turning on your PS3 before turning on your television. And if that doesn't work, you might try changing the source (Whatever cable port you have it hooked up to on the T.V.) to the one where you hooked up your PS3.

Hope this helps!

(Looks at you with confused by intrigued look)

I don't know what you mean, but just look it up in your TV manual.

HDMI cable is the best ..( sold separately)

Do television sports broadcasters still use huge trucks outside stadiums and arenas?

I mean the huge trucks that they used to use as television broadcast control centers. Is this still the case today? I was thinking that maybe the more modern stadiums and arenas might have television control rooms built right into them. Any information will help me. Thanks much.

no

What brand should I buy or what elements should I look for in a HD 40 - 50 inch television?

Wanting to purchase new television but there are many confusing elements to consider -- Is there a better brand? Is there a big difference in warranty? What size gives the best picture? What other elements do I need to look for to get the best picture and best deal?

You should work through a logical approach based on your needs and budget.

The first consideration is what viewing distance you plan to use. This helps define the screen size. The graph at the 1st link (also read the original article) helps define what size screen you should consider based on resolution of the display and the viewing distance. It's not exact since picture quality and eyesight varies, but it gives a good idea of approximate sizes.

For example, if you are considering a 720p HDTV (Green line), a 50" screen is best watched at 10' or a bit more. A 1080p HDTV (Red Line) the same size would be best watched at about 6.5'.

It may help to consider that at 8-10 ft, you won't see any difference between a 720p and 1080p HDTV smaller than about 50", so don't waste money on higher resolution if you can't benefit.

It's also worth considering that HDTV is a mix of 1080i and 720p ... there is no 1080p broadcast TV. The only consumer source for a 1080p picture (other than games) is Blu-ray or HD DVD ... and then you need a minimum 40" 1080p HDTV to benefit (and you need to sit at the right distance).

So, decide on the screen size and resolution first.

Now consider that picture quality is determined by four primary factors (in decreasing order of importance): contrast, colour saturation, colour accuracy and resolution. When considering specifc HDTVs keep these things in mind.

Assuming you are still considering a 40"-50" model, you can choose plasma or LCD or rear projection. Prices decrease in the same order.

Plasma is arguably the best picture, but in addition to being the most expensive, also needs the highest electrical power and turns out the most heat. They are not available under about 40".

LCD is available down to about 20" and up to over 60" but doesn't give quite as good a picture. It can suffer from blurring of fast movement ... so in addition to the 4 factors identified above, you also need to consider screen response time (aim for 8 ms).

Rear projection are less expensive but is falling out of favour because flatpanel LCDs are almost as cheap and don't have the size and limited viewing angle considerations of rear projectors.

Some people (including me) use a front projection and a screen for HDTV/movies as part of a home theater ... the best way to get a big picture ... but a specialized approach.

Consider connectivity .. you want as wide a range of inputs and outputs as you can ... although 2 or more HDMI inputs and optical audio output are the most important.

Style is personal, so I won't comment.

I'm not going to suggest a brand or model (others will do that), but I suggest you do some reading -- particularly reviews -- before going out to look at actual TVs. That way you will have decided on the size, resolution, type, etc and will be an informed consumer ready to focus on what is available and not as prone to "salesperson speak".

For a start see the links.

I hope this helps.

Leading brands are Panasonic, Pioneer, Sony.

At that size buy plasma.

If you are curious about the difference between plasma and LCD then google it.

I have been researching Plasma/LCD tvs for over 6 months now, and I know alot about them. Unfortunately, I don't own one. Too fuckin expensive. Soon as I can get a 720p 32" LCD for $500 australian or 42" for $700 then I will buy one. I am not paying 5000 for a tv. I don't have that kind of money anyway. But, I know alot about them as I intend to buy the best one I can as soon as there is a DRASTIC price drop.

OK.

1. Resolution. This is what makes HD HD. for a 40- inch get something 720 p. that is 1366x768. if its anything else its crap. These tvs usually also do 1080i. If you are going 50, then get a 1080p. that is 1920x1080. again if it is different, then it is a ripoff.

2. Contrast Ratio. This affects this colour contrast you will see, and how vivid and lifelike it looks. Technically, it means the Ratio of brightness between the darkest black and brightest white. For a plasma, 8000+ is great. LCDs are usually lower, but some companies are working on ones that go really high, like 18000+.

3. Brand. If its a brand you dont see much, chances are it will drop out after a year or so. I would look for Samsung/sony (if you are a bloody millionare) sharp, LG, panasonic, pioneer, hitachi or a big-name brand.

4. whether it ends in "i" or "p". i refers to interlaced, where the pixels in each row are slightly off up/high kind of brick pattern. It refreshes every second row at a time instead of all, and the vertical resolution is less then the number indicated. p means progressive scan, and means all pixels are lined up in a grid and all change at the same time. it gives you a much better quality. thats why 1080i is of similar quality to 720p.

there is a new 50" plasma out now with 1080i which is awesome,the brand to go for is LG

au.lge.com this is the web site

All of the answers on this page make excellent points, but ultimately you are the one who will be watching it. Go to the store look at the different brands, and ask the salesperson to let you play with the picture configurations. There are several excellent TV's out there. As far as brands LCD: Sony or Samsung lead in that arena Plasma: Pioneer probably makes the best.

When was the first television ever invented?

Basically, what year was the first television invented is what I'm curious about. best answer gets 10 pts.

Philo Farnsworth gave the world's first public demonstration of a complete all-electronic television system on 25 August 1934 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. Other inventors had previously demonstrated components of such a system, or had shown an electronic system using still images or motion picture film. But Farnsworth was the first to coordinate both electronically scanned television cameras and electronically scanned television receivers, and present live, moving, half-tone (grayscale) images with them.

1831

Joseph Henry's and Michael Faraday's work with electromagnetism jumpstarts the era of electronic communication.

1862 First Still Image Transferred

Abbe Giovanna Caselli invents his Pantelegraph and becomes the first person to transmit a still image over wires.

1873

Scientists May and Smith experiment with selenium and light, this reveals the possibilty for inventors to transform images into electronic signals.

1876

Boston civil servant George Carey was thinking about complete television systems and in 1877 he put forward drawings for what he called a selenium camera that would allow people to see by electricity.

Eugen Goldstein coins the term "cathode rays" to describe the light emitted when an electric current was forced through a vacuum tube.

Late 1870s

Scientists and engineers like Paiva, Figuier, and Senlecq were suggesting alternative designs for Telectroscopes.

1880

Inventors Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Edison theorize about telephone devices that transmit image as well as sound.

Bell's Photophone used light to transmit sound and he wanted to advance his device for image sending.

George Carey builds a rudimentary system with light-sensitive cells.

1881

Sheldon Bidwell experiments with his Telephotography that was similiar to Bell's Photophone.

1884 18 Lines of Resolution

Paul Nipkow sends images over wires using a rotating metal disk technology calling it the electric telescope with 18 lines of resolution.

1900 And We Called It Television

At the World's Fair in Paris, the first International Congress of Electricity was held. That is where Russian Constantin Perskyi made the first known use of the word "television.

Soon after 1900, the momentum shifted from ideas and discussions to physical development of television systems. Two major paths in the development of a television system were pursued by inventors.

Inventors attempted to build mechanical television systems based on Paul Nipkow's rotating disks or

Inventors attempted to build electronic television systems based on the cathode ray tube developed independently in 1907 by English inventor A.A.

Campbell-Swinton and Russian scientist Boris Rosing.

American Charles Jenkins and Scotsman John Baird followed the mechanical model while

Philo Farnsworth, working independently in San Francisco, and Russian emigrant Vladimir Zworkin, working for Westinghouse and later RCA, advanced the electronic model.

Electronic television systems eventual replaced mechanical systems.

1906 - First Mechanical Television System

Lee de Forest invents the Audion vacuum tube that proved essential to electronics. The Audion was the first tube with the ability to amplify signals.

Boris Rosing combines Nipkow's disk and a cathode ray tube and builds the first working mechanical TV system.

1907 Early Electronic Systems

Campbell Swinton and Boris Rosing suggest using cathode ray tubes to transmit images. Independent of each other, they both develop electronic scanning methods of reproducing images.

1923

Vladimir Zworkin patents his iconscope a TV camera tube based on Campbell Swinton's ideas. The iconscope, which he called an electric eye becomes the cornerstone for further television development. Zworkin later develops the kinescope for picture display (aka the reciever).

1924/25 First Moving Silhouette Images

American Charles Jenkins and John Baird from Scotland, each demonstrate the mechanical transmissions of images over wire circuits.

John Baird becomes the first person to transmit moving silhouette images using a mechanical system based on Nipkow's disk.

Charles Jenkin built his Radiovisor and 1931 and sold it as a kit for consumers to put together (see photo to right).

Vladimir Zworkin patents a color television system.

1926 30 Lines of Resolution

John Baird operates a television system with 30 lines of resolution system running at 5 frames per second.

1927

Bell Telephone and the U.S. Department of Commerce conduct the first long distance use of television that took place between Washington D.C. and New York City on April 9th. Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover commented, “Today we have, in a sense, the transmission of sight for the first time in the world’s history. Human genius has now destroyed the impediment of distance in a new respect, and in a manner hitherto unknown.”

Philo Farnsworth, files for a patent on the first complete electronic television system, which he called the Image Dissector.

1928

The Federal Radio Commission issues the first television station license (W3XK) to Charles Jenkins.

1929

Vladimir Zworkin demonstrates the first practical electronic system for both the transmission and reception of images using his new kinescope tube.

John Baird opens the first TV studio, however, the image quality was poor.

1930

Charles Jenkins broadcasts the first TV commercial.

The BBC begins regular TV transmissions.

1933

Iowa State University (W9XK) starts broadcasting twice weekly television programs in cooperation with radio station WSUI.

1936

About 200 hundred television sets are in use world-wide.

The introduction of coaxial cable, which is a pure copper or copper-coated wire surrounded by insulation and an aluminum covering.

These cables were and are used to transmit television, telephone, and data signals.

The first experimental coaxial cable lines were laid by AT&T between New York and Philadelphia in 1936. The first regular installation connected Minneapolis and Stevens Point, WI in 1941.

The original L1 coaxial-cable system could carry 480 telephone conversations or one television program. By the 1970's, L5 systems could carry 132,000 calls or more than 200 television programs.

1937

CBS begins its TV development.

The BBC begins high definition broadcasts in London.

Brothers and Stanford researchers Russell and Sigurd Varian introduce the Klystron. A Klystron is a high-frequency amplifier for generating microwaves. It is considered the technology that makes UHF-TV possible because it gives the ability to generate the high power required in this spectrum.

1939

Vladimir Zworkin and RCA conduct experimentally broadcasts from the Empire State Building.

Television was demonstrated at the New York World's Fair and the San Francisco Golden Gate International Exposition.

RCA's David Sarnoff used his company's exhibit at the 1939 World's Fair as a showcase for the 1st Presidential speech (Roosevelt) on television and to introduce RCA's new line of television receivers, some of which had to be coupled with a radio if you wanted to hear sound.

The Dumont company starts making tv sets.

1940

Peter Goldmark invents a 343 lines of resolution color television system.

1941

The FCC releases the NTSC standard for black and white TV.

1943

Vladimir Zworkin developed a better camera tube called the Orthicon. The Orthicon (see photo right) had enough light sensitivity to record outdoor events at night.

1946

Peter Goldmark, working for CBS, demonstrated his color television system to the FCC. His system produced color pictures by having a red-blue-green wheel spin in front of a cathode ray tube.

This mechanical means of producing a color picture was used in 1949 to broadcast medical procedures from Pennsylvania and Atlantic City hospitals. In Atlantic City, viewers could come to the convention center to see broadcasts of operations. Reports from the time noted that the realism of seeing surgery in color caused more than a few viewers to faint.

Although Goldmark's mechanical system was eventually replaced by an electronic system he is recognized as the first to introduce a broadcasting color television system.

1948

Cable television is introduced in Pennsylvania as a means of bringing television to rural areas.

A patent was granted to Louis W. Parker for a low-cost television receiver.

One million homes in the United States have television sets.

1950

The FCC approves the first color television standard which is replaced by a second in 1953.

Vladimir Zworkin developed a better camera tube called the Vidicon

1956

Ampex introduces the first practical videotape system of broadcast quality.

1956

Robert Adler invents the first practical remote control called the Zenith Space Commander. It was proceeded by wired remotes and units that failed in sunlight.

A billion TV sets world-wide.

is that detailed enough?

How can I get television in a Motorhome?

We just bought a 1999 Bounder and I would like Television service. Where can I buy the best equipment and what do I need?

DirecTV and Dish both make satellite receivers for motor homes that can be added with a roof top antenna and tied into your existing coax distribution system. These range in price from ones that automatically align with satellites to those that you can set a dish tripod on the ground and manually locate the satellite.

Most motor home dealers will have the integrated systems for sale and will, for a price install the unit. Naturally individual units are cheaper.

Anyone knows how many television sets there are per household in France?

I searched online but I don't seem to find the statistics, I'm writing about French Television and i can't seem to find how many tv sets per 1000 (or per any ) households there are. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

2.35 tv's average per household.

That's such a stupid thing to be asked to do. Surely it depends on the area, the type of people living there and how many people living in the house / how many rooms there are and on income and bills and things.

It's difficult to tell. Do as much research as you can and make an estimation and use that.

Which candidate if elected President would you refuse to watch on television?

I had to turn off my television whenever Ronald Reagan or either of the two Bushes spoke. I just couldn't listen to their blather. I don't mean for this to be a partisan question, though.

Who would you not listen to and why?

Hilary and Obama, talk about retoric and boring!

McCain, he is scary looking, he is so old, not that Hillary would be a thrill to watch.

Ralph Nader

There's only so much egomaniacal claptrap one person can take.

I would watch and listen to any of them. I like to stay informed.

hillary...her voice is grating, she is visually disturbing, and now she has this huge fat-roll around her middle and she's STILL wearing clingy knit tops.....and, i HATE watching people lie through their teeth.......

McCain. I don't want to hear somebody go on and on about how we have to stay the course in Iraq.

none of the three running i would turn them all off

there crapy chooses, obama and hilary are my least fav they are so nasty

Clinton (one clinton lying was enough) and Obmama. Reagan was always a GREAT man to watch, inspiring, and who could forget to Gorby: 'tear down this wall'. Thus putting an end to the Cold War! Greatest president of our time!

Her ~ because she can't seem to distinguish fiction from nonfiction.

Would anyone know how to fix the infrared receiver on a television?

My remote control is working fine. It is the receiver on the television that isn't. I have cleaned it with alcohol (just in case) it was little sticky finger grandchildren, but that's not it either. I am sure it is something internal. I can't even get a "universal" remote to work on it. It is a 3 year old Toshiba TV/VCR combo.

Thanks!

If your TV can not be control by your remote and you have fresh batteries in your remote, then the standby voltage from your low voltage supply (5V SB) is bad. If you manually turn ON the TV at the TV itself, can you adjust volume, channel selection, etc.? In other words, will your remote work if you manually switch ON the TV at the TV itself? Reason being, this 5V is the voltage that supplies the infrared receiver LED circuit, well, in most TV's.

How do I capture television onto a panasonic handycam?

I need to do a Halo review, using footage from the first two games. I've tried to use my Panasonic DV camera, but I can't get it to work. I've set the camera to playback once connected, and pressed record, but it won't work. I've even connected it to my VCR. Is there some way I can capture television footage using the A/V cord and the panasonic handycam, without buying anything else.

(Please be as specific as humanly possible.)

This is as specific as possible. No. Sorry, but without buying anything else, it can't be done. Even if you were willing to buy something else, it would cost a great deal of money to get the setup. Sorry,

Randall

What do you think of the fact that Paper Tiger Television uses the media as a means of reforming the media?

What do you think of the fact that Paper Tiger Television uses the media as a means of reforming the media?

its interesting how they use the media to effect social change. in fact other media moghul do so to but pttv is unique in championing issues that the main media doesnt seem to show any interest.

being a non-profit body it attracts the affinity of the lower classes.

its a step forward in our rich people capitalist controlled society

Connecting a LCD television to an old DVD home cinema surround system.?

Hi I have a LG LCD television with built in Dolby digital surround built in. I've connected it up to my old surround sound home cinema system which runs through a dvd player. Its great for watching DVD's with, but thats the only time I can get the surround sound to work when its using a DVD. My mate has connected his surround sound system to his lcd tv and it works all the time when watching the footie for instance. Does anyone know if I could do this with my System, or is it to old and only designed for use with DVD's. Its only a cheap ALBA 5.1 home cinema system by the way. Cheers.

Connect tv to subwoofer,using an RCA phono lead(Red and Black),buy one long enough,plug it into tv phono out sockets,and plug the other end into 2 chnl L+R on subwoofer.On the front of your sub when you power it up,on the the right select 2ch,on the left select 5.1 Stereo.Should work.

Your can listen to your tv through your system. You just need to connect your tv's audio outputs to one of the cinema systems audio inputs and select that input for your sound when you want to listen to the tv.

If you don't have enough inputs you can buy a selector box from radio shack.

With the additional information it looks like your DVD player/surround system does not have an input that can accept the Dolby Digital Surround from the TV.

It sounds like the the DVD player only has outputs and not inputs to get the TV sound into it. If it can't get the TV sound in it can't put it out to the 5.1 see?

On most of these kind of DVD/Sound systems they either have no sound inputs at all or just 1 L+R input for like a cd player or tape deck or VCR.

My sister in law had the same style of DVD/5.1 amp setup and she had no inputs to get TV channel sound input as well.

Is there anyway to plug an external hardrive into a television?

I have karaoke w/graphics on a external hardrive, is there anyway to play this on a television?

the big screen tv i mean the HD one has HDMI Slot and also there are external hard drives which have the HDMI slot which u can connect them together by HDMI cable (this cable kind of pricey)

more about HDMI

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI

Well no, but you can find some way of using tivo or just using off your computer, but some newer tvs do have usb but it may not work, try it

What do you think of the fact that Paper Tiger Television uses the media as a means of reforming the media?

What do you think of the fact that Paper Tiger Television uses the media as a means of reforming the media?

I think the media changes regardless of influence. But if its in a negative way, or a bias way, i dont agree with it.

Why does my television take so long to startup?

I have an LCD 32" HD Konka television set. Sometimes it takes the TV a good ten minutes to startup, other times it starts up in seconds. I don't understand it. Why is this and what can I do to stop it?

LCD sets get their illumination from a flat fluorescent lamp assembly located behind the LCD screen. After long use these lamps can take a while to start up, but it should not take ten minutes. Your fluorescent backlight is probably defective, or simply worn out. The only option is to have it replaced.

Is it legal to show a females naked butt on television?

I flipped on my television and the Janice Dickinson Modeling Agency was on. It showed a clip of a female model's naked butt. Is that legal?

I don't see why not, I mean ABC showed a close up of Dennis Franz' backside on NYPD Blue and it got past the censors. The only time censors are put up are for full frontal nudity and women's nipples.

I think it is perfectly cool that they show nudity on tv. Not on like PBS kids or Disney Channel, but on America's Next Top Model the camera gets in top and personal to the dressing rooms.

I like seeing babes naked on TV.

As long as it is cool with the person who is naked on TV. Cool with me http://answers.yahoo.com/question/accuse_write?qid=20080830152416AA1xuv2&kid=RpIvDHb_NXa2ae8BygEo&s=comm&date=2008-10-20+18%3A32%3A56&.crumb=

That was on cable and I think they have different rules. Besides, modeling is supposed to be "art" so it wasn't meant to be done in a sexual way.

I think kinda recently (within the last year or so) ABC (not sure) showed a kid walking in on a woman getting out of the shower and it showed her butt. Anyway, whatever TV show it was, I think they got in a lot of trouble for that.

What steps must I take in order to work on Television?

I am 16 years old and I live near Sydney. Ive done drama in and outside of school. I would like to do genres such as comedy political, satire, but Id be happy with anything. I am extremely in to the idea working on television either presenting, acting, basically I would be appreciative of anything. If anyone has any knowledge of where I should begin, what I should do, anything at all, I would appreciate it very much.

In terms of acting, you need to find yourself an agent. Join local theatre and invite agents to watch you, once you get an agent, it will be so much easier for you to get auditions through them and go up for TV/Film work.

Make sure that if an agent wants you on their books that they are respectable, have a decent client list (hopefully with actors who are already doing well) and that they only take money when you get work, and that they don't ask you for any money upfront etc.

Good luck.

How do I get a signal on a LG plasma television from a laptop?

How do I get a signal on a LG plasma television from a laptop?

You should have a cable, I think its called RG or RB cable... connects computer to plasma... Usually cable has two fat ends, very similar to the screen cable for a desk top

How does buying television advertising work?

I'm doing a project and i'm wondering what the typical contract for buying television advertising spots

There are a couple questions wrapped up in this one.

1 - How does buying television advertising work?

Answer: Submit an availability request to broadcast television stations in the market you are looking to buy (affiliates of ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, CW, etc.). This asks a station what they have available for you to buy and how much they're charging for that program. An avail request contains the information a station needs to satisfy your request: the client, the product, the flight dates of the campaign, the measurement period you're buying off of, the target audience, the dayparts you'll be buying, and anything else that might be of importance to the station. All of this information plays into the costs that you're quoted. Once the avails are received, you negotiate with the stations on their ratings and costs for programming. From there, the buy (station orders) is constructed based on the goals that you are trying to acheive for the campaign. When you've satisfied your goals, the order is sent to the station, they send a confirmation to you, and then a spot is sent to the station for them to air according to your order.

2 - "Typical contract for buying television"

Answer: There is no "typical contract" persay - it all depends on the goal of the campaign. If TV is going to be utilized for a new product launch, this flight might only be 2-3 weeks. These weeks would be incredibly loud as it's a new product, but there's no need to have a product launch last for weeks on end. If TV is going to be utilized for a branding campaign (establishing a corporate presence in a market), a longer flight is needed.

Some tips:

- Use a mix of programming as it increases the audience you will reach (ie: don't buy just Grey's Anatomy - not everyone watches it)

- The longer lead time you have before a flight airs, the lower your costs will typically be as demand increases as timing gets shorter. (ie: if you want to be on-air in a week, be prepared to pay a pretty penny)

- The size of the market you are buying plays a large part in the cost. New York City is going to be much more expensive than Anchorage Alaska. Why? Larger population.

- Never reveal your budget to a station - they will submit a flight to you that uses your entire budget leaving you no room to buy another station.

- If you're looking to maximize a small budget, consider partnering with a station. In this instance, you would need to reveal your budget to the station and tell them you are looking for a partnership. You get a lot more added value this way - bonus spots, online exposure, etc.

I hope that covers what you were looking for. Good luck!

hmm. People see those glamorous advertisments,drool over them (even if they are not in need of those products) because TV ads just entice and rope in people into buying.

is this what you mean?

I've worked with TV, Radio and newspaper advertising. The media never wants you to do anything for a one time try. First of all, if you can't afford to partially saturate a market for three to six months, then you can't afford to advertise yet. Save up to get enough funds to advertise. TV is expensive, but reaches specific crowds. Newspaper can be expensive since you don't get as much of a visual, but reaches a different crowd, and radio the same, and on. You need to hit people many ways. With TV specifically, the longer the contract the less you spend over time. Carefully research WHO you want to reach first and don't forget the free PR by writing many news releases. The more quality news you send the better. Also use online PR like PRWeb, which is very well search engine optimized.

This is all important, but poorly written material might as well never have happened.

try spotrunner.com, it allows you to create a commercial, buy time spots and manage your own campaign without going through an agency. it's good for local marketing.

How do I connect a regular antenna with a coax connection to a television with A/V inputs only?

I have a television with A/V jacks only. Since I dont have cable, I can't really watch anything. I wanted to know how I could connect a regular antenna with a Coax connection, to the television using some sort of device. Can I use an RF modulator?

If you have a vcr you could use that. Hook the coax from the antenna to the antenna in on the vcr. Use rca cables (red white yellow) from the video out, not the coax out, to the a/v inputs on the back of your tv. If you only have yellow and white on either your vcr or tv then they are mono but that is not a big deal. Just use the right colors on each end and you may end up with an extra cable.

You connect the antenna to the RF input on the TV not the AV inputs.

A RF modulator only works on coax inputs.

What is a television show that depicts race, class, age, or gender?

I need to analyze a tv show for class and write a paper on it. I need some ideas for television shows that address one of the things above. The book we read used Grey's Anatomy for an example, so you catch the drift

10 points to lost of opinions!

30 rock

I would think that almost all the topics are seen through characters.

race: tracy jordan

class: alec baldwin

age: tina fey/liz lemon

gender: tina fey again

There are tons of shows that you could do. Does it have to be based in this time period? Because Mad Men would be a great show that depicts race and gender issues of the 1960s.

One set in modern times could be something like Law & Order: SVU, because they have a lot of things that have to do with gender. It really depends on what you're tring to analyze.

How far should you sit or stand away from the Television in your home?

I heard that the television is like an x-ray or emits radiation of some sort.

You should be in another room, preferably another building to any television set which is switched on and displaying a programme otherwise your brain will turn to mush and you will be unable to form your own ideas and opinions.

Cheers.

6ft is the recommended distance

Eight Feet is a safe amount.

not distance but you'll get square eyes if you watch too much telly.lol. and anyway i bet you sit up closer to your pc monitor than the telly. this is how most people's eyesight fades . try putting the screen at an angle , then you eye muscles have to work more to keep your vision focused.

A lot of electronic devices emit some sort of radiation but it is so low that you shouldnt worry about it. Distance is subjective depending on screen size and own viewing preference.

Television sets are not emitting any harmful radiations.

Sit or stand any where you feel comfortable without strain to your eyes.

Next time please ask, " How long we can watch T.V?"

I wouldn't worry about it.

But if you do, then the general rule is to sit away from it at a distance of three times the diagonal length of the screen.

One should maintain atleast 6 feet from the Television inorder our eyes dont get affected

the best distance is around 10-15 ft. just dont stand within 5 feet of the TV

Not since the 70s...

this is just an old wives tale like mobiles give you cancer. I am old enough to remember when coloured tv came in and they gave lots of warnings about the rays etc.. never heard of one person being hurt by it.

Invest in a chair-- it's more comfortable sitting down.

Sit wherever your chair is.

cummon ....you can guess it by yourself .....just sit where you feel like but that does not mean you have to sit so far or near it !!!! infact televisions are less harmfull then before.

the distance is at least three times as many as the diagonal of the TV

How do access the AV input in a hotel television to play my xbox 360?

I am in a Sheraton Hotel with a Phillips Hotel television and I tried to play my Xbox 360, but I am not able to connect it. Can you please help?

Check the back of the TV to see if it has component or SCART (in Europe) connectors. Connect to this video port with your Xbox (if youhave the leads with you).

Some of the hotel TV wont let you even try this because of the in house cable system. what i do is i call down to the front desk and have them bring up a second TV. they usually do this with no problems .

How the television has changed advertising now then it was in 1930-40's era ?

I need to write an essay and make an presentation about this topic: "Develop a crtitical argument to examine how television has changed advertising "

To start, television commercials did not exist in the 1930s. The first televised commercial was broadcast in 1941. It was a Bulova commercial.

Since then, the genesis of television commercials has seen a lot of changes.

Length of the commercial: two elements (the cost of buying air time and the amount of competition) are big limiting factors today, that didn't exist in the 1940s and 1950s. TV commercials were a lot longer, also because advertisers could hold the viewer's attention much longer: there were fewer competitive brands, especially on TV, and there were no other channels to change to.

The 1970s saw bigger restrictions in television advertising: no more cigarettes, and alcoholic beverages could be advertised only so long as they were not consumed during the commercial.

The 1980s saw a new type of commercial come into play: less jingles (catchy songs developed specifically for this purpose) and more mainstream music started appearing.

The advent of cable (which gave consumers so many more choices during a commercial break) and, later, tivo, drove advertisers to shorter, catchier commericals but - most importantly - caused the beginning of product placement, which is a new way to advertise altogether.

Finally, the use of sponsorships, to include companies buying the naming rights to stadiums and other venues, is a newer commercial output.

In progress today are commercial adaptations like interactive advertising (Comcast is testing an On Demand system where brands pop while the viewers is watching a show, and the products worn by the actor, or other items, can be purchased "on the spot").

Hope this helps!

Everything change with time.

Two words: Cigarette commercials

Well, is this homework? What has your research told you? Better start Googling!

How do I hook an SNES up to a television that doesn't have coaxial?

I gave my girlfriend an SNES for her birthday. Unfortunately, she broke the coaxial on her television. Is there any other way for to hook it up? She has a DVD player. Would it be possible to run it through the player?

You don't. Why don't you buy an Xbox 360? Or maybe a new TV.

Awhile ago I bought a SNES cable that hooks into the red/white/yellow AV jacks instead of the coaxial. You should be able to find one of these on eBay or even at your local video game store (gamestop, or whatever).

How do I play a DVD with my laptop, but make the picture appear on a television?

Nobody seems to know. I've even asked best-buy salesmen. I've got a laptop with an S-Video output, and a monitor output, for a second monitor.

My television has A/V inputs. What hardware, cables, and software do I need to make this work?

All you need to do is the buy a S-Video cable for your TV and Laptop.

you can buy it at Staples, Office Depot, Compusa, and Bestbuy

For me, what i did was buy a S-Video AV adapter on ebay, but u could probably find at Radio Shack. Once u do that u have to go into display properties and click the settings tab. Right click attach on the second moniter, or manually punch in your FN key + CRT/CLD button to display on ur tv.

s- video cable that Will connect to your TVs av

change your setting in Display Properties have you got professions for extending your desk top

well its the same as connecting your computer to a TV. there should be a VGA port at the back, that's for external monitors so connect a VGA to s-video port to it and you should be a for away... yip thats it.

*IF* your TV has a SVideo INPUT you just need a SVideo cable. IF your TV only has COMPOSITE INPUT you will need a SVideo-to-Composite (RCA Jacks) cable.

IF your TV ONLY has a RF INPUT (Cable connection) you'll need a Video adapter to RF. Most any store sells them for around $10 or so........

My daughter is 3 months old. Is it bad for her to start watching cartoons on Television?

I have a three month old daughter and I've let her watch television a few times. Is this bad? What are the negative sides to this? Any positive sides?

at that age it wont hurt to watch 20 min. of tv a day. But no more then 20 min.

The experts say you shouldn't. I let my daughter watch and it hasn't seemed to hurt her. She's a very well developed 3 year old.

Limit how many hours a day you allow cartoons, or they'll take over your TV!

I think, because she is so young, if you watch them with her it will be good snuggle time. I don't think she will understand it, so you scan watch something that you like(that is not violent, sexual, or language) while she is on your lap, or sleeping on you. I disagree that tv"exposure" is bad for babies, because just being in front of it isn't bad!

No more dangerous than staring at a light bulb and believe me as much as my son is fascinated at 3 months with the TV he still gets fascinated by light bulbs as well.

Negative problems are caused by parents who park their kids in front of the tv and discourage interaction or ignore them. The TV is not a babysitter.

Yes my son likes to stare at the TV from time to time but he is either in my lap eating (and unless something is distracting him he can be a very poor eater so if I can find something on the tv for him to stare at he will eat a lot more because he forgets to fuss) or on his activity mat where he will play with his toys and only watch the bits that catch his attention. He adores the Wonder Pets and if I sing the theme song he smiles so big, it's adorable. He'll focus on the Backyardigans when singing and most shows if the character's are singing, other than that he could care less. He does like that painting pony on BabyE with the colors though. Usually if he is focusing on the tv I'll talk to him about what he is seeing. He may not quite understand right now but as he gets older it is a good habit to have with your children (watching together and talking about what they are watching). Also when he does focus on the TV I can get to the bathroom or grab a snack or do a quick chore like grab something out for dinner or make sure the pets have food, etc... I don't use it to distract him for me to go grab a shower or spend a half hour out of the room or tied up with something else, that's what his nap times are for!

Babies should not have exposure to television until they are at least two years old. There is a lot of research and literature to support this. Baby Einstein DVDs are also not a good choice for infants. There are no pros, only cons.

Early television watching has been linked to ADHD and other neurological development issues in children. However, a few times will not harm your baby. My daughter glances at the TV every now and then to see where the noise is coming from, but she never watches a show or even 5 minutes of a show. Television should not be a substitute for real hands-on playtime, this is the main concern.

Edit: there are special networks and shows that claim to be for newborns and infants. Most doctors are infuriated with these claims, every doctor I have interned with has felt the same way. a baby's brain is incapable of processing the 2-d images from the TV screen and in no way benefits from watching.

I have a channel on Dish Network that is especially for babies. It's pretty much like a screen saver on a computer set to music. I watch it with my 3 month old for about an hour a day. I'm against just ditching a child in front of the T.V. but I don't see any harm in watching it WITH them. She really seem to enjoy watching it judging by the cooing sounds and smiles. In my opinion, I'd rather have her watching a little T.V. than staring at the same mobile and listening to the same lullaby's every day.

Good Luck!! :)

My daughter is 10 weeks old and I let her watch it. When she is crying and I put her infront of the tv she is quiet. I think she like the colors and sound. I usually have it on dora or blues clues. I dont care what statistics say. I have a 3 year old who has watched it since about 8 weeks. Shes now 3 and more intellegent than her 5 year old half sister. MY 3 year old daughter watches mostly PBS, Dora and Blues Clues. She can even speak spanish which she learned from watching Dora.

most of the research i have read really discourages television for children under two - sometimes even five! the brain is developing and tv is fairly overwhelming. while i don't believe a few cartoons will cause any permanent damage or dissorders, there is no way to say it won't contribute to those problems. i don't think there is any reason a 3 month old needs to watch tv.

everything in moderation.

How can I get my psp player to display as a full screen picture on the television?

Use the zoom funciton on your television - that is if it has it. You may have an older TV. In that case you may be out of luck.

How many television views were there for the 2008 Olympics?

I'm doing a school project and I have to do this comparison thing but I have to know how much television views there were for the Beijing Olympics. Answer pweeeease(:

Worldwide -

Beijing - The 2008 Olympics drew an estimated television audience of 4.7 billion over 17 days, setting a new viewing record for an Olympic Games, market research firm Nielsen said on Friday. The estimated audience from August 8-17 surpassed the 3.9 billion viewers for the whole of the Athens games in 2004 and the 3.6 billion who watched the 2000 event in Sydney, the company said in a press release.

http://www.earthtimes.org/articles/show/229928,beijing-olympics-draws-4.7-billion-television-viewers.html

USA only -

Through 16 days of coverage, 211 million viewers have watched the Olympics on NBC Universal's broadcast network and cable channels, according to Nielsen Media Research.

http://www.thrfeed.com/2008/08/beijing-games-t.html

( Edit: The myth that the World Cup final attracted a global television audience of more than a billion people has been debunked by an Independent investigation into TV viewing figures that shows that true audiences are between a quarter and a third of that size.

According to Initiative Sports Futures, independent analysts with no ties to Fifa, the figure for the 2006 final was 260 million in the 54 key markets it surveyed, accounting for 90 per cent of the world's TV households.
