In fact, cable television became a success in the United States in 1948, when John Walson of Pennsylvania metropolitan area. He opened an electronics store and wanted to sell a television. There is only one problem. Mountains around the metropolitan area intercept Philadelphia broadcasters' broadcast signals. So Walson put an antenna on a bracket and passed it. He bought a signal amplifier and sold the service.

From there, the service expanded and became more insecure with the advancement of technology. The first paid service (Me Box Office or HBO) was launched in WilkesBarre, PA in 1972. HBO has become the largest paid cable service.

There was a cable called Song (I think it was young) in the late 70's, but it was very different from what we know today. They all own the three chains in which I grew up. With cable, we have twelve, and that seems like a lot.

Yes, but not as big as it is today, especially in the big cities. Search Zee TV Depending on how many channels you get, it goes up to about 40.

Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT aint for me either. If it had existed in the 1970s, it would not have been heard of.
