The urban legend was or is that TV was a WWII German
invention and that it
started over there.
I'm glad I know this now.

There is rather a lot of television history on the web,
a google search will find much of it. It difficult to know
where the very first TV started but the Brits have a good
claim. All of the first experiments used mechanical
scanning. Its possible that some form of experimental
transmission of pictures by wire took place before the
invention of the vacuum tube. I must leave for work in a few
minutes so have to stop. I will try to post some citations
later.
