don't tell that to the uzbeks. this is after the brits, but there seems to be some contention.
'When writing the paper, the author studied historic documents of Central State Archive, and also other reliable documents. The 26th of July and the 4th of August in 1928 were the dates which initiated a brand new era in the history of mankind—an era of television.
At the corner of the Sayilgoh street and Sh. Rashidov avenue was installed a transmitter, and a receiver was also installed on the wing of the cinema “Khiva”, and the operator of Uzbek newsreel put the video on a moving tram.
The moving Tashkent tram was for the first time seen on the screen, in that way the first television set appeared in the world with electronic-beam tube and the first in the world television transmission.
That was the birth of electronic telecast—the prototype of modern television.'
