When I was a kid, my grandfather had a remote TV like that but his remote looked different and was smaller, but it worked the same way. I don't remember the TV brand. He had only one leg, so he needed it.

My parents had two remotes, my sister and me. I also remember the next version of that which was electronic. You could actually hear the different frequencies that were being emitted (back when I had young ears). It had 4 or 5 buttons if I remember correctly.

My grandparents had a Zenith with the space command remote. No batteries. It was known as "the clicker"
