I remember the TV my granddad had back when I was a kid (he got it in the late 60s or early 70s) that had a remote control. The RC was a box about 3x5 inches and about an inch and a thick. It had 5 push buttons - the kind that you press it, it stays down until you press another one then it pops back up. This box with the 5 buttons was attached to the TV by a 20' cord. You couldn't adjust the sound and you couldn't turn the tv on and off. Two of the buttons never worked - they only had 3 channels in that town.
