It was not so much about the operation of the sets being a problem, but their reception. I've definitely read of annoying interference problems that pioneer TV watchers dealt with in the day that were eliminated in the post-war years. The general performance of pre-war sets was adequate, but with huge leaps made in electronics due to the war-effort, many bugs were worked out and advances made for post-war TV's. It is definitely noted that the 1946 RCA 630TS is a superior set compared to the 1939 TRK-12. Between the circuity improvements and the timing being right for the public to accept the new technology, TV in the USA was basically re-introduced in the post-war years.
