Will a universal remote work on a smart tv?
They work on most of them. Some of the functions may not work. If you have a very old TV or an unusual model, you may have a problem .
Yes, an HD television will operate without an HD cable box. Many will now receive HD signals using a built in tuner and will receive SD signals using the tuner as well.
If an HD television is purchased before an upgrade to an HD cable box, the television will accept SD signals from the existing cable box. The quality will still be SD - there is no increase in the resolution just because the television is HD.
When an HD box is obtained, the television will be ready to display HD signals.

How do you split cable internet to get cable television?
Depending on your cable company, it may not be possible. If you are paying for cable tv service, then you should be able to use a splitter from radioshack or anywhere that sells them. Make sure you get a splitter that goes up to 1000mhz, or 1 ghz. The splitter has an in and at least 2 outs, maybe more depending on how many devices you want. Be aware that splitting cable signal cuts it in half and if you do not have enough signal for this, your internet may stop working. If you are not paying for tv service, most companies will put something called a hypass on the line. This allows only the frequencies that carry internet signal to pass through. If you do not have one of these installed on your line, than you should be able to get tv reception. Good luck!
What country was the first to have television?
The first fully operational television system was demonstrated in 1925 in London, England by John Logie Baird.
But... the answer isn't quite that simple. Baird was a Scotsman and started his work in Scotland. So the country of origin might be Scotland. However, he used something called a Nipkow disc to create a scanned image. That was invented by Gottlieb Nipkow, a German of Russian heritage. Although Nipkow never made a television with his disc, it was a fundamental part of the Baird system. So perhaps the television is German or Russian.
One last complication - Philo Farnsworth developed the ideas and showed off his own electro-mechanical television system in 1927 in the US. Then in 1929, he created a television that had no moving parts. His fully electronic television formed the basis of all television developments for the following half century. So, just maybe, the modern television is American.
Add other small but significant inventions to the list and the number of countries gets larger. Oh, we mustn't forget our Italian friend, Marconi, who developed wireless transmission, without which television would never have got off the ground.
There are enough countries involved in the creation of television to keep most people convinced that it was conceived in their own country and to keep this debate running for many years to come.
What are the Basic features of Set-Top Boxes?
They have TV tuners and the ability to decode encryption embedded in TV signals, allowing owners to tune into stations that are otherwise unviewable because of the encryption. It connects to a television and an external source of signal, turning the signal into content which is then displayed on the television screen or other display device. With advancements in technology, STBs have become more complex added with great features. Nowadays advanced STBs come with universal remote controls and allows for home automation. A lot of companies are entering into the STB market these days. Even BBC is coming up with a connected-TV platform STB called YouView which seem to have been stalled for the time being and slated for a 2012 release.
