    Our first tv with a remote control that wasn’t me or my sibling using small vise grip on channel knob had a telephone included in the tv.

    Like this was in 1982 so not a modem … just a tv with a land line phone built in that you have to use the remote to make or receive a call.

      Yes! Those channel knobs were so easily broken. I thought we were the only ones turning channels with pair of vice-grips clamped on the nub.
