Default Re: Coax cable - When did it begin?

I wonder when coax started to appear in domestic TV installations. Two main manufacturers of TV sets when they were first rolled out in The Netherlands were Van der Heem (Erres) and Philips. Van der Heem had a background in professional communications equipment and had great attention to detail and quality, Philips produced quality equipment as long as it didn't cost too much to make. The first Erres sets had coaxial connectors, Philips used the old balanced wiring. A few years later, Erres went back to the old system as well. In the early 1970's, coax connections were reintroduced.
