might refer to the abbreviated CRT meaning "Cathode Ray Tube" which were the box looking TVs and PC Monitors back then.
It was called the Television but when first coined it was called the "Cathode tube" which as we know was actually only part of the device
They were called thermionic valves. there was also the cathode ray tube (CRT)
The previous generation of televisions were known as CRT televisions. CRT stands for cathode ray tube. The tube sent a stream of electrons from the back of the tube to the front phosphor coated glass face. The electrons caused the phosphors to glow according to the intensity of the electron beam.
LCD stands for Liquid Cristal Display. It's the type of TV screen they use, as opposed to old tube screens of old days.
in the early days of televisiion, the screen that one watched the picture on was more than just the glass 'screen', but included the necessary parts to deliver the video portiion of the television experience, was actually called a picture tube. From that fact people sometimes called it the 'tube', or sometimes the 'boob tube'....just as a reference to television. I think that the only one to know the true answer to the question is the one or few who officially gave You tube it's name. In my opinion, though, I think it is referencing just that ... tv. "You tv" as in videos....= tv --- about whatever YOU want... or since anyone can make and ppost their own from home....it could refer to TV-- OF YOU!

A "tube," more accurately called a cathode ray tube, or CRT, displays the image sent in through the coaxial cable from the cable box or antenna, or from another video input. The CRT is a vacuum tube which emits a varying pattern of electrons at the back of a screen. The screen is treated with a phosphor and when the treatment is excited by electrons, it emits electromagnetic radiation, which is light.
a television- like display device is called a
The problem you describe might be the tube, but there are other parts of the television that can cause similar effects. You will need to have it checked at a TV repair center and they will also be able to tell you how much a new tube could cost. In these days of very low cost televisions, it is quite likely that the tube will cost more than a new television.
Original TVs used cathode ray tubes for the monitors. It became called by some "The Tube." So, the tube part refers to video. The "you" part refers to the fact that you can add your own video.
