NICAM stereo sound

[Arran]

When did you first get NICAM stereo sound? What device did you use to receive it? For example, was it a NICAM enabled TV, a NICAM enabled video recorder, or a separate NICAM tuner?

I think my Aunt & Uncle got a Nicam TV around 1990, may parents didn't until 1994.

All the channels used to plug it a lot, putting things on screen to tell you the next programme was in stereo.

Don't think I've ever owned anything that's NICAM

The first Nicam device we had was a Matsui TV from, I think, Currys in 1990. It was a 25" FST model. I am struggling to remember the first Nicam video recorder we had, but it was bought sometime after the TV and was probably a Ferguson or Hitachi so far as I can recall.

A Panasonic TV from '88 which is still working perfectly today. Obviously not digital so I use it connected to my VHS VCR

Also you can play VHS tapes on a flat screen TV which was bought before the switch over as most of them have a separate analogue board
