I had a little portable black and white tv as a kid and used to do the exact same thing with the white dot, I also remember the huge amount of static that it produced lol

I remember our first television set, I was a Bush, it had a 9" screen in a huge cabinet and to enhance it's viewing experiance we had a huge magnifying glass on adjustable legs, this was around 1950.

It was replaced with a 12" screen Pye set for the Coronation, still with the magnifying glass.

Happy days

I remember when the test card used to come on during the day, there was periods when BBC didn’t broadcast and just showed the test card.

Interesting reminiscences about your first TV sets Tarkus

I remember an old portable at my grandparents house. It was in the spare bedroom so was used by anyone who stayed over. It was a little b&w set and instead of buttons or a remote control it had a dial to tune it in to the channels (like a radio).
