TV

 

Did you know ... the concept of television's was first thought of in 1878 but it wasn't until the 1920's before it was really developed.  According to TVNZ, New Zealand's first official television transmission began at 7.30pm Wednesday 1 June 1960 in a building on Shortland Street in central Auckland.

Reduce

Purchasing a TV can be expensive. Where practical, choose a good quality, energy efficient set that can last you a lifetime.  Alternatively you could go with the second-hand option, which can be cheaper than buying new.

 

Repair

Rather than replacing the broken TV, why not see if it can be repaired.  Check out the Television-Installation, Repairs and Servicing agents listed in the yellow pages.
