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

[RAW_SPK]

saw my first WWF PPV on that black box

Yeah brehs....between channel 99 scrambled....the Howard Stern show...BET uncut...and E! when girls gone wild used to show late night. Oh and when my mom was a manager and used to work overnights and we'd stay at the hotel I swear my body was used to waking up right when G string divas was on HBO.

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

my mom wouldn't let me have my own box.... showed her ass when i ordered one from the back of some magazine


nikka i was eating lovely till one day, it just stopped working... i literally remember the exact day the cable company sent out that kill signal and upgraded their services

 

[GrindtooFilthy]

[The War Report]

I eat real good off the Playboy and Spice channels as a youngin. Also all the Wrestling PPVs. I was so spilled.

 

[The War Report]

We used to have one back then. Boxing matches and wwf ppvs were always an event. I also remember my parents finding out my brother and me discovered some channels. That didn't go well. Friends from the neighborhood would stop by after school on way home. Pops always used to hide and lock the box in my brothers room whenever the cable guy came around. Saying some made up story so he won't go in there. Later on around high school or later, we switched to satellite and the hacked cards. Thousands of channels at our disposal. One's i had never even heard of before. Those were the days back then. Now pops just gets upset cuz Comcast and now uverse charge him an arm and a leg.

You taking me back, breh.

We didn't have cable. All we had was the shytty antenna.

 

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

I thought that shyt was regular TV. So boxing was always on pay per view?

 

[StarClout]

shyt was beautiful. I saw WWF ppvs, boxing, MMA

Fun Fact: Dish Network had a channel throughout the years that only pirates could see that basically said we know you’re pirating

 

[General Mills]

My aunt had illegal cable for YEARS. For all of the pay per views I saw them all. I would go visit my cousins and we would watch all of the boxing, WWF we could stomach.

We were getting ready for a Tyson fight. My Aunt got mad that the reception on cable was a little snowy. She had the audacity to CALL THE CABLE COMPANY to complain

They quickly found out she never had an account. Hell the address was not even supposed to be on. They cut it off within 2 hours of her calling to cuss them out

Guy down the street use to sell and hook those up for people. This older Belizean dude, Melvin or Marvin if I remember correctly.

Ever so often we’d have him reprogram our shyt for better reception. Pops would throw him $50 and a 6 pack
