The first televisions went on sale to the public in 1929 as the BBC began the first television broadcasts. The "Televisor" and John Logie Baird named his television was not a trivial purchase. The cost was the equivalent of £8000 ($12,000) today.

Broadcasts were limited at the time and on only a single channel. It was a huge investment for a tiny screen and no choice of programming. Nonetheless, several hundred were sold.
