Who remembers in the 90s to Early 00s when nikkas use to use Illegal Cable AKA Black Box

[trick]

But before the box

These youngsters don't know the struggle

I still remember changing the channels when I was 5 or 6 and I saw some chick playing with her vagina. My grandma was in the room and I asked her what she was doing and my grandma was like "she's cleaning her belly button"

 

[brehbreh]

I think I still got one in the basement somewhere.

Had to get the addon converter to tune higher channels than my TV could go LOL
the pre-internet life was also great - these young'ns will never know the world without the web.

I remember that back when Jukebox channel was the joint. I always called in to get 2 Live Crew videos when my pops was at work

Those 2 Live Crew videos all came on late night. The Box was the shyt. I used to hate when nikkas would order the same videos back to back tho

These young nikkas don't know what its like not being able to watch all the music videos and porn they want with just a click of mouse

 

[satam55]

Free porn channels and Free pay per view
A young nikka was eating lovely when wrestlemania & mike tyson fights came on

I wonder if you could still obtain them today

They won't work. They were meant to be used with Analog Cable. It's all digital nowadays.

Breh I can remember one time putting that shyt on as a young buck and being like

Then while the women be moaning and screaming that original NWO theme music started playing in the background

I was like, WCW out here in these skreets airing porn on their pay per views?!

No wonder they beating WWF's ass

Wait, is that Nash and Hall smashing the Nitro Girls like that?!!

But reality was it was just a porno flick that used the NWO theme

 

[Zombi_Jeezus]

Man every chavez, delahoya, or tyson fight was cause for a big ass party/bbq at my uncles. I remember one time I went inside to fix myself a plate before the tyson fight started. Maaan that shyt was over before I even came back outside. Im walking out with my plate like and hear everyone outside like

I was stuck to watching the replays.

electronics were so ugly, all function no form... Thank god for Steve Jobs and Apple's philosophy blowing up

My best friend's family had one, and that was my surrogate family and second home….5th grade sleeping at his house eating double stuffed oeros with cokes and watching 'Broken Arrow' and all the latest PPV movies is a definitive childhood memory….His dad was a widower and mom had passed 2 years before, was the definition of 'cool' Dad, but worked a lot, so we all ran wild. Porn used to come at at 10:00 pm SHARP, and I remember one summer we had about 12 kids, cousins, friends, neighbors all watching 'Carpool' with Tom Arnold in like summer 98, and that shyt came on….little kids were all confused. We watched 'The Rock', 'Fear', 'Scream', after school and late at night….those were the fukking days. He sold that house, and I walked through the old neighborhood the other day, trespassed a little in the backyard, just to get some memories one last time.

edit: also used to watch all the boxing matches, and have neighborhood parties, I saw the classic Tyson fights, Lennox Lewis, Oscar De La Hoya, all the iconic mid-late 90's fights….

I used to have one in my bedroom as my mom got one for me but she wasn't aware you could get porn on it.

Imagine being a 15yr boy with nightly porn on deck

when Court TV turned into Playboy

 

[tremonthustler1]

Man, I remember them days. I didn't have a black box but my uncle did but he never let us look at it unless it was a wrestling PPV on or something. Other than that, he kept it in his bedroom. When I moved into my apartment I had the DTV cards that would get hit and then you got them reflashed. Man, that was the shyt. I still miss seeing the police chases on the California news channels, the endless PPV movies, PPV shows, and all of the XXX stations.

Man, I remember when Spice would never show you the actual hardcore scenes (no penetration, no money shots, you knew the scene was over when they'd just show the actor like )

Then the Hot Zone came. Nothing Was The Same

I would go to my DTV connect like I was cashing a check

had from 93 to 2002
from black box to hacked chip

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

what was the year that blackout happened on PPV? was it halloween havoc? i remember one PPV wrestling event where it blacked out and me and my little brother sitting there like NOOOOOOO!!! we thought the box fukked up. Didnt know til years later that wcw or wwf whoever the fukk it was fukked up or some shyt. my memory is hazy

i remember king of the ring '95 blacked out. we actually ordered it and they either refunded the money or sent us a t-shirt or both. i didnt have a chip back then.

crazy thing is, it was in philly, so we couldve just went there instead. i think it was a last-minute order cuz the wwf had got wack during that time. in fact, the only other wwf ppv we ordered after that was wrestlemania 12, and that was only cuz of the ultimate warrior.
