In the sense of giving the world's first known demo of television in January 1926, then Baird did invent TV. Baird did more than anyone in the UK to make a fuss about TV and promote it. Ultimately his technology wasn't up to the job. Though mechanical scanning and intermediate film lived on in specialised applications for many years. Some space missions used intermediate film because it was more practical to send a photolab into space than a VTR. That sounds incredible these days but it's true.
