Cable Television
A cable television is a system that distributes television signals by means of fiber-optic or coaxial cables. Cable television systems started in the United States in the late 1940s to enhance reception in hilly and remote areas, where broadcast signals were weak.

How do you add a channel to the tv using remote?
Unless you are skilled in electrical engineering and understand the nuances of RF tuner design, you can't. A easier solution is to get an old VCR and use that as a tuner/RF modulator.
Need set up codes for quasar television using a GE universal remote?
Your best bet is to go to the Quasar web site and look up the codes for your model and plug them into the remote. If that doesn't work, chances are the remote is not compatible with your set. But don't go running out to buy a new remote. Most of them have an auto-programming mode and can usually find most any piece of equipment it is aimed at.

What are the characteristics of broadband coaxial cable?
Low interference, high frequency bandwidth and something else... The main advantages of coaxial cable are # Good shielding. This almost eliminates interference from external electromagnetic fields; it also reduces radiation from the cable to almost zero. Only a waveguide is superior in this respect, and that can be used only in the microwave region. # Good bandwidth and low loss. These two are grouped together because they enter into a three-way relationship with cost. One can extend frequency response right into the microwave region, and achieve lower and lower loss figures; you just have to pay for it. Again, waveguide can better microwave performance and loss figures, but at high cost in weight as well as money. # Good power handling. # Flexibility. Co-ax can go round corners without any problems. Most other transmission lines have problems with a change in direction. # A characteristic impedance which is known, uniform all along the cable and stays the same when the cable is curved. # Can be run anywhere without being affected by its surroundings; it can be run underground or underwater provided it has a "non-contaminating" outer jacket.

How do you program your VCR without the remote?
Most remote controls come with codes for TVs, DVDs and cable boxes. You can also check the remote control manufactures web page. I find it is better to just buy a universal remote control, that way I can program multiple devices on one remote control.
if you mean fuzzy as in not a very high resolution its because you have too high of a pixel ratio for cable (meaning if you have 1080p or anywhere near that ratio then it is too much for cable), i would advise upgrading to charter high definition though if you mean that its static i cannot explain that sorry.
Who invented the television remote?
According to the Great Idea Finder, the remote control was invented in the 1950s at Zenith Corporation. The first iteration, dubbed "Lazy Bones," used a cable that ran from the television set to the controller. In 1955, Eugene Polley, another Zenith employee, came up with the Flashmatic, the industry's first wireless remote. While it worked reasonably well, it did have limitations that kept it from being practical enough for everyday use.
The next year, Dr. Robert Adler unveiled the Space Command remote control. Instead of the photo cells used in the Flashmatic, the Space Command used ultrasound. This added 30% to the price of the TV, but it was considered a success and later adopted by other manufacturers."
How many television sets were in the US in 1957?
