Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We had MTV when it was new. And real. We'd cut work for when we knew a new video was coming out. On our 13" B&W tv. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 After you live in an apartment, for a minute, with a tad of electronics training, is you can take the coax cable plate off, and one inch away is your neighbor's coax connection. Which they are paying for. A $1 spliiter. Free Styx!! We only left the tv on mtv, and never shut it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Back then, the cable scramblers were a box full of 20 capacitors. With a plastic screwdriver, an a minute on each tweak, you had twenty channels! They didn't all come in great, but they were HBO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We only had three channels, and then, Mom, came home with a video cassette player. It was as big as a bus. It took up the whole kitchen counter. You'd put it it in, and it'd hum and buzz and birr and grind and hum for thirty seconds, just for the video to go in. It'd take a full minute. Then you got to watch The Wizard of Oz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 Never watch a video cassette of Richard Pryor Live, with your mom. It's... Don't do that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Batesmotel Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 We owned the second video store in Utah. So early we started with Beta tapes. Those were fun times. The whole idea of movies on demand was so new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 There's a used record store in Dearborn, MI, that I can still get 12" video disks. I don't really need one, but Clint Eastwood should probably be preserved that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huaco Kid Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 And, if they have them, they sell the covers for 20X what the disk costs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASH Posted July 8, 2018 Author Share Posted July 8, 2018 back in early 80ties big 10 foot satelite dishes got popular because you could get all the channels for free i mean everything , we had a channel master system when i was 13 , the satelite control box was up and down and choose over 20 birds man every friend wanted to stay over lol then ,, then all the companies got together and said hmmm lets scramble channels and make em pay . that sucked , then they had a descrambler box you could hack then few years later it all died out . funny thing that big dish is is still down by the road beside my moms driveway lol , i just paint it time to time like for halloween , thanksgiving etc .
