The 1961 Wireless Wizard controlled 7 functions: channel, volume, tint, color, brightness. Originally the engineers were going with 4 buttons with channel and volume. The research showed the color pictures drifted so often that picture controls were required for a remote.https://twitter.com/BrianRoemmele/status/1188607807454511104 …

Meet the Wireless Wizard of 1961 by RCA.
Not the first TV remote but one with 49+ research studies before it was built, down to the angle to the clear buttons.
The research was almost discarded in a central New Jersey dumpster—I rescued it.
