Chapter 456 Development of Rural TV Signal Receiving Equipment

In 2006, located in the middle section of Gangdu Street, Laigang County, at the intersection of Lujiazhuang Village, a four-storey home appliance shopping mall has been officially open for two years.

In the past two years, the home appliance market has developed very rapidly.

In the 80s, TV began to slowly enter the homes of ordinary people.

In the early 90s, the home appliances that ordinary people needed were nothing more than a TV.At this time, television has become popular.

At the beginning, the main factor affecting the popularity of home appliances was price, including the price of home appliances themselves and electricity charges.In addition, before 85, there was basically no power supply in rural areas.

And the electricity price was very expensive in the 80s and 70s. At the end of the 40s, the wages of ordinary employees were only [-] yuan a month, and it cost more than one yuan a day to co-operate. At that time, the electricity price was [-] cents per kilowatt hour. up.

The real realization of large-scale power supply in rural areas actually started after 95.

With the expansion of the power supply scale and the electricity reform in 2002, the price of home appliances has also become more and more affordable, so the entire home appliance market has become hot.

Once the richest man in China was a seller of electrical appliances. This incident can also show the popularity of the home appliance sales industry back then.

In the 70s, the home appliance that every household had was probably the radio.

In the 80s, televisions began to enter the homes of ordinary people, and until the end of the 80s and the early 90s, black and white TVs had basically spread to all households.The popularity of black and white TV is mainly due to the fact that a black and white TV only cost a few hundred dollars in the late 80s.At this price, most ordinary people can accept it.

After the popularization of television, the next hot home appliance to start selling is the DVD player.The popularity of Hong Kong and Taiwan movies drives the popularity of DVD players and pirated CDs.

There used to be a long period of time, next to the train station, next to the school, and in the rural market in every place, there were a large number of people wearing military coats selling CDs.

By the end of the 90s, the gap between the rich and the poor gradually became wider and wider, and the rich began to have more and more home appliances in their homes.Washing machines, refrigerators, and air conditioners have become the three new standard items in rich homes.

And in the homes of the poor, air conditioners and refrigerators were still unthinkable in the late 90s. At most, they would spend hundreds of dollars to buy a semi-automatic washing machine.

In the middle and late 90s, rich people began to use an expensive item in their homes, but the ratings were amazing, that is, the satellite TV signal receiver.

This kind of thing that looks like a big pot lid, when it first appeared in the eyes of ordinary people in the mid-90s, the price was about 3000 yuan.

In the mid-90s, 3000 yuan was basically equivalent to a migrant worker's annual income.

This price is definitely not affordable by ordinary people.

In fact, the production cost of the large pot cover is not high at all, and the technical content is not much. The manufacturer who first produced this product directly made a profit.

However, because there is not much technical content, other manufacturers soon began to produce large pot lids, and then the competition became fierce.

Then at the end of the 90s, the price of a large pot lid was only 200 yuan.

Of course, those of particularly good quality can be sold for hundreds of dollars.The large pot lids used by Zhao Qingshan are all produced by genuine manufacturers, they can keep up with software updates in time, and can be used all the time.And those large pot lids produced by pirated manufacturers will not last long, and the software cannot be updated, and then they cannot be used.

Then, in the blink of an eye, in 2006, the black and white TVs in ordinary people's homes had been gradually phased out, and began to become color TVs.

And then, the home appliances that young people prefer to buy at home have also become computers.

Li Ling took one of his men, and then came to the Sanlian Appliances Mall in Laigang County with Cao Mingren.

The entire Sanlian home appliance store actually has three floors. The first floor is mainly for washing machines, refrigerators and TVs.

The other two floors are mainly used for offices and warehouses.

Zhao Qingshan arranged for Li Ling and Cao Mingren to buy the satellite receiver for the small appliances on the first floor, so Li Ling took Cao Mingren directly to the first floor.

Immediately after entering the door, a shopping guide asked with a smile, "Excuse me, what do you want to see?"

"Where is your satellite receiver located?"

"Here, please follow me."

Led by the shopping guide, Li Ling and Cao Mingren soon came to the place where satellite signal receivers were sold exclusively.

Although the government has a special document stating that this kind of satellite receiver cannot be sold, it is still easy to buy this kind of satellite receiver in small counties.

Moreover, even in 2018, this kind of satellite receiver can still be bought, and it can still be used normally.

In 2006, satellite receivers could still be bought in home appliance hypermarkets like Sanlian Home Appliances, not to mention small vendors, and they were all produced by genuine manufacturers.

The shopping guide at the door brought Li Ling and Cao Mingren to the WeChat signal receiver store, and there are still many people who come to buy this kind of equipment.

With regard to rural areas, the auxiliary equipment for receiving TV signals is also developing step by step with the popularization of TV.

The earliest TVs received TV signals using the antennas that came with the TV when you bought it, including indoor antennas and outdoor antennas.The indoor antennas are two antennas on the TV, one long and one short, while the outdoor antennas are of various shapes. You need to get a long pole first and then stand it up.When receiving a signal, you need to turn the antenna to a suitable position in order to receive a specific channel.For example, if you are watching Qilu TV now, and then want to watch Luzhong TV, you have to go out and change the antenna, and then you can watch the signal on the TV only after you find a suitable location for the antenna.

However, in many cases, everyone endures the ripples on the TV and watches TV programs that are not clear at all.

Later, satellite TV signal receivers became popular. At first, they were expensive, and someone bought them, and then neighbors gathered to watch the programs.Of course, even the satellite TV signal receiver is available, and there must be a big color TV at home.

At the same time that satellite TV signal receivers started to be used, closed-circuit television was connected to rural areas near cities, and then rural people could also watch closed-circuit television programs.However, compared with the TV signal receiver that can be watched for free after one purchase, the closed-circuit TV that needs to be paid every year does not have an advantage in the hearts of ordinary people.

Later, with the popularity of Internet TV, the original satellite TV signal receiver was gradually eliminated.
