Had the box. :wow:
I remember randomly the box would get zapped and show E4 on the front...you could spend anywhere from 1 to 30 minutes wiggling the power cord in and out of the outlet to get that shyt working again :jawalrus:

I had one of those filters that you hook up between the TV and cable wire.

one for PPVs, one for Cinemax and one for Disney channel and i had to switch them shyts all the time
the PPV one only came through in black and white for some reason tho. so if some really dope shyt happened my dad would get a tape from one of his coworkers and we'd rewatch it

My uncle would give me $50 at times when I seen him randomly, and I used all that shyt on ppv’s :mjcry:

My mom would buy some if I’d get good grades or for my birthday :mjcry:


When I was 10, I used to visit my dad at work (he was a caretaker that made house calls) one of his clients was a huge wrestling fan, and him and his family would purchase the PPV’s every month and have a watch party. I remember going with him once to work, and while he was working upstairs, I was watching edge vs cena TLC match at unforgiven with the family in the basement.

They had hella food, drinks, music, and everything. I was like “:gladbron: can I come here every month!!!”

Once i told my mom was like, “ I don’t know them people :mjpls:“ and put a stop to that instantly :to:
