The camera is the problem, then, and not the display...

Television will be delayed substantially, and be used only as a sort of a 'home theater' system. Computers are still doable - actually, the Internet, or something similar (like the French Minitel) might take off a lot faster with only radio and newspapers as competition.  Actually, a semi-home computer might *be* the television - it would allow watching home movies along with a primitive internet-like system for obtaining news.

The changes will be quite early. Cameras for live television were around during WWII if not earlier...

EDIT: I forgot animation. Televised content might exist in this TL, but be entirely animated...also TV could still use tape-delayed material from studios.
