As a boy I had to stand up and walk to the TV to switch channel pressing buttons. No remote.
And then you pull too hard on the power button and it comes off and you get hit/yelled at by dad
I had an old small tv like that in my bedroom. There was a dial for vhf and another for UHF. The two UHF channels we had were about 20 and 31, but I found if I dialed it all the way to 90 or so sometimes I could hear voices talking to each other. Usually just boring phone calls, I showed my friends once and we listened to my friends uncle on a call by chance, he recognised the voice and the people he was talking about.
Then they switched mobile phones to a digital signal.
Landline portable antenna phones had some prettybad channel bleed, esp if you live in an apt complex with a local Walmart - bunch of phones would all be the same cheapo Panasonic (or whatever) model and we'd hear someone pretty often if you stand in the right spot.
Now that's what I call a proper television
My TV only had 4 button for 4 channels so once we got more than 4 channels we had to use a small wheel to change frequencies and look for them.
That's a new one to me. Great Britain, I assume.
Unitra was a Polish brand that existed during communism.
I had to get up and hit it on the side with a dead blow hammer when the screen turned green as well.
I was the "go find the pliers to turn the channel, cause the knob went missing last year" kid.
Just kept the small vice grip clamped on it.
Yo my dad would lay on the couch after work and scream for me or my brother to come change the channel. Those were the fucking days...
You were supposed to sit close enough to the tv to always reach it.
