Hello. I am not referring to modern tv's..but In the 70s and 80s, when electronic tuners and remote controls came into vogue, Did these TVs employ processors for the functions? I'd imagine the ones containing on screen menus and channel memory did. But, I once owned a General Electric with the LED channel readout (from 1980 or so) and the channel memory was non-volatile, it kept it's memory after being unplugged for years. Why would that be?
I get the feeling that a lot of cutting-edge-technology made its way into color TVs in the early 80s...
Anyone care to discuss this?
