Television theory
Most people have no idea how a television set operates. Most of those people couldnt care less, just as long as it works properly. The theory and nuts & bolts functioning is beyond what most non-technical types understand. Well, I found a little video clip that offers an in-depth, easy-to-understand explanation of what goes on inside the box. You will be taken through the basics, plus a walk-through of the circuitry. You, dear reader, will come away from this little seminar knowing more about the workings of a television set than you probably bargained for.
Just who is it out there that has a grasp of things techy and electronic and the ability to impart such knowledge in an easily understood fashion? Well, none other than Björk.
Make sense now?

That's pretty good. :-)
There was a great program on PBS I think it was in the 90's on this very subject, although it was on many different machines called, How Machines Work, or how Things Work or some such, Based in Britain, it described in laymen's terms how things like the TV, the fax machine etc worked and it was fascinating. Even on the VCR and how it degrades after just 3-4 dubes/generations down from the original.
And I should say...

I learned how a tv works by talking to a television repairman who came to our house to replace tubes. I had to have been 5 years old. I was always a geek.

Here a little random trivia. The "father" of television, Philo Farnsworth, invented the vacuum tube TV display. He was from Rigby, ID. A suburb of Idaho Falls (my town).
