Do any Dopers recall TVs in the 1980’s when, IIRC, you could answer the phone through the TV? It didn’t last because I think it would be very annoying to have your favorite show or football game interrupted by a call you didn’t want in the first place!
Does anyone recall how this worked? Could you use the TV speakers as a speaker phone, or did the TV just mute when the phone rang? Did the TV somehow connect to a phone jack?
I’m just curious to know. Did any Doper own one of these TVs?
Please fill us in on what they did, how they worked, how they were hooked up, etc…to the best of your memory. Thanks!
