Where the family televi­ sion set once did nothing but receive broadcast programs, the 1979 model is likely also to be used as a home terminal for cable TV, pay television programming, video games, video cassette recorders and possibly a home computer. Even if the television set isn't initially purchased with these attachments in mind, chances are that during its lifetime it will take on at least some of these subsidiary uses. More new "acces­ sories." such as the video disc player, are just around the corner. Some of these new picture sources, particularly pay cable TV and the video disc, are capable of supplying a better picture than the aver­ age over-the-air broad­ cast--and the fine-grained pictures in many of the 1979 models are ready for them. These many new uses are also expected to increase the demands on television sets for reliability and durability, and most TV set makers are already prepared with the most dependable sets in his­ tory . Automatic tuning and color-control systems, some using minicomputers, now are featured in every brand of color TV. Most sets have completely eliminated the knob-twiddling which once was required to receive and maintain a good color pic­ ture. Some have even elimi­ nated the knobs. For convenience and re­ liability, one of the major ad­ vances in color TV is elec­ tronic tuning, which for 1979 has spread to new lower price areas. The old mechanical tuner has been replaced in many models by tuners with no moving parts. The simplest form of elec­ tronic tuning uses the sin­ gle-knob tuner, which pulls in all VHF and UHF chan­ nels in the area, eliminating the necessity to switch from one knob to another to change bands. Increasingly popular is the "touchbutton" tuning panel, which makes it possible to tune from one channel directly to any other without going through all channels in between. A third method uses digital tuners resembling cal­ culators or touch-tab tele­ phone panels which can in­ stantly "call up" any TV channel. In black-and-whiteT the trend is toward "combina­ tion" portables--small- screen tote-alongs combined with AM-FM radios and cas­ sette recorders or eight-track tape cartridge players. These are com plete entertainment centers ready to go when you are, for use indoors or out. Small-screen black-and-white sets, in fact, now are as portable as many radios were a few years ago. Nearly 10 million 1978- model color sets were sold--an all-time record. • • * * Most people are limit­ ed by their inability to appreciate others. • • • * Those who always make positive statements make a lot of mistakes. • • • * The best way to get a day's work done is to work a full day.
