TVs had channels?
I'm old enough to remember Saturday morning cartoons, but seriously, it feels like TVs don't really have channels anymore, and instead just have thousands of shitty streaming apps.
We forget how much TV was boring AF.

We just had the twin lead wire coming from the antenna on the roof, through the wall, and hooked to the back of the TV. We didn't get a color TV until I was about eight years old. My mom didn't like the color, she thought they looked wrong, so we had black and white until she saw a Sony TV. (Early 70s)
The old B&W TV looked something like this:
This was our first VCR. I think this was the first digital clock we had in the house, too:
Whoa... Not flashing 12:00, check out Linus Torvalds here.
LOL. That's not a picture of our actual VCR, just one of the same model.
But, my dad was an aircraft mechanic. He knew his way around tech well enough. Our clocks were always set correctly, as it happens.
Everything back then weighed 80-100lbs.
Except tvs, they weighed even more.

wait, you could plug something to the TV ? the two wires going out of mine was electricity and antenna, and no remote.
Reminds me, I should go through my old box of DVDs and do some cleaning.
I am SCART old
As a boy I had to stand up and walk to the TV to switch channel pressing buttons. No remote.

Easily. I had two computers before I had one that was this advanced.
When having S-Video was the shit and knowing that the white cable never needed to be used. I guess if you wanted surround sound but the red was stereo and the white was mono so if you wanted true stereo sound supposedly you only went with the red but that was debated.
