Dial-Up and Struggle TV Stories

[beenz]

and speaking of cable. as a kid, we had cable, but this was waaaayyyyy before digital cable. this was the 80's and 90's. so there wasn't no piff on tv like now. but we only had cable on one tv, so the little ass B&W tv I had in my room only got the local channels

. so that's all I used to watch. local channels or the box

if I could get reception.

I remember back in the day my sister got in trouble for watching skinemax late night

90's kids knew all about the struggle

If you had a illegal cable box or a juiced DirecTV card you were the man on the playground when it came to WWE/WCW.

DirecTV/Dish had more than just Spice and Playboy

We had the dial up subscription so those discs went in the trash

When we upgraded to cable internet

Damn this thread makes me feel as hell

I swear there was this one time I was watching the scrambled spice channel where there was this porn about some amish broads. I've been wanting to find and finish that shyt forever. I worked out a little system where I found out it was kinda fukked up. It'd let you watch the first two minutes before it scrambled so I could at least work out the plot and what some of the characters looked like.

Then there was the two weeks when either somebody in the house ordered the playboy channel or that shyt fukked up and gave us free playboy. I didn't really care which at the time I just know I was good.
