If it was as late as 1992 then there was already a system available to
feed digital video out of a domestic TV via the mains. Each raster of
video was preceded by a sixteen bit address which identified the
television set. All that was needed was a decoder box plugged into the
mains somewhere between your room and the grid transformer. The signal
was decoded and then fed down to the phone line. They probably
even had a PC which enabled them to see the picture as well. By 1992 the
technology had moved on from slowscan to near real time video with the
advent of devices from Brooktree and  Harris etc.

You’re doing OK so far.

>Your instinct is to switch the TV off, to change channel,

Not much point unless you switch off the TV at the mains

>like an ostrich,

Looks like Ostrich farming is going to catch on in the UK as you may have seen in
some of the other uk newsgroups
