Yes it must have been before that date, since I saw the Coronation on the TV
at our flat in Wandsworth, on a set provided by Redifusion.
This was because my dad worked there and the device had a back projected picture, and made a very loud whine.
It had an input on it for a different tuner or a wired box apparently, but
it was only when ITV came along that the tuner was used. We, being in London and on ch1 never did need to retune it of course.
The later versions had a turret tuner with what were called biscuits inside for the bbc and eventually itv channels.

By close of play today C4 HD should be remapped to Ch 104 on both

(At present that only applies in the London region, but today C4 have
launched their 5 other ad regions on HD, so Ofcom allows them to be
mapped to 104 )
That would be useful - seems odd that all the other channels at the top
of
FS EPG are HD (except 101) apart from 4. I'd still keep 4 SD as the EPG
is a
whole no. of steps to go through it.
Tellies were a rare beast back in the daze o' me yoof. I was 7 y.o.
before we got our BBC only telly, with vertical and horizontal hold
controls on the back.
I remember when next door got ITV, which was rumoured to be
in colour. It wasn't, of course, but it was a great privilege to be
invited round so we could see 'Our Gang' in glorious small screen
monochrome. ~1956
