In South Wales there was “Rediffusion” which was a very early cable type system as there was no signal to the TV aerials. There was a switch on the windowsill that you had to twist to change channel. Only 3 channels of course.

We had Rediffusion TVs in the mid seventies. Definitely not the best Tv around at the time although it worked off a VHF or UHF aerial. No cabling in those days.

Rediffusion was also in the North Staffordshire & South Manchester areas - only 2 TV channels at my Gran's in Stoke-on-Trent plus radio, BBC Home Service and Light Programme - we only had BBC TV at home
