Ah, those were the days. Racing to the cable office to gather a list of what must have been 48-digit codes to type in for each scrambled channel. Good times, good times…
Personally, I’d rather fill it with chili con queso. Yum.÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷Mr. Jones, you’ll just have to be satisfied (hee hee) with the magazine. Of course, if you really need to see someone strutting around, maybe you could ask Mrs. Jones if she’ll oblige.
How many of you are old enough to remember The Playboy Channel on cable where the picture (when you didn’t pay for the filter) was snowy and the sound was filled with the “whoop whoop whoop whoop” sound. I was able to filter enough of it out to see some boob. Now with the internet … ;-)
Uverse was pretty nice, technically; fiber-to-the-curb, (until the power went out in that windstorm, then the noisy generator out there in the dark). The payment models between the (regulated) phone part, and the (unregulated) TV and ISP part is what sent us back to cable.The dishes are still useful for The SETI League (Google it.)

Kick the habit! Do without satellite or cable! I get by with just the thirty-some-odd broadcast channels I can pull in with my rabbit-ears….

Yep. I remember when everyone bought those giant, unsightly antennas and then ended up having to get descramblers. Lotta unhappy people!

On the radio, a group sang, “I want my MTV”; in our homes, we were saying, “I want my T&A.”
