WATCH TWO CHANNELS AT ONCE WITH PICTURE IN PICTURE

What kind of TV should I get to use this modern feature? I've narrowed my list down to Admiral, Curtis Mathes, Magnavox, Philco, Quasar, and RCA.

I'd definitely go with Curtis Mathes.

Damn! I haven't seen a Curtis Mathes dealer, or even a dealer's sign, in 25 or 30 years.

If you don't go with the Admiral you'll be sorry.....

I'll stick with my handy dandy Curtis Mathis and its electronic ultrasonic remote control!

Funny...that was the first one I thought of reading that list. We had several Zenith sets when I was a kid!

Here's a comment going back to the original topic, though. I was watching side-by-side PIP this past weekend for the first time in a while. Perhaps I've been spoiled by Multiview, but it would be cool if audio in side-by-side mode worked the same way as Multiview. I.E. the use of arrows on remote to go back and forth on audio vs. constantly using swap and having video swap sides each time. In Multiview, you can just arrow between the 4 screens for audio without the channels moving around the screen.

That was the only TV brand that my grandfather would have. My great grandfather, now to him RCA hung the moon in radio and television sets. My parents used to always have Zeniths too till the late 90's. I remember when the Zenith dealer would come out to "fix the tv" it was always bad when he had to load it up and take it into the shop. Then you'd have to get the 19" model out of the bedroom while the 27" "big screen" was in the shop.

I'd go with a DuMont if I were you

Hard to argue with a TV company that had its own network.

I'd wait if I was you. I hear the new sets are going to be in color.

RCA/Victor had two! NBC Red & Blue networks. They had to sell one. That's where ABC came from.
But I still sold "DuMont" TVs in the early 80s. They were made by that fine electronics company AOC.

Love the history lesson!

I just found a device that sits on the tv and when you turn the dial the outdoor antenna aims at the tower so you don't have to go outside to turn it by hand. WAY COOL.

Talk about Thread Creep!

Can we get back to the original discussion. Please!!

I remember we had one of those in the 1950s.
