I'm told by someone who moved to my town in 1947, and who worked in the TV installation business, that remoter farms hereabouts (in Herefordshire) didn't get mains electricity until well into the 1960s.

Most of them had generators but I gather it was difficult getting a TV to work on the rather garbled mains supply they offered.
