    When growing up in NZ we had one station and we lived in a shoe box in middle of road.
    Didn't matter did it, The Shoe box. No cars back then... %-Pmost car would go over the top without crushing us, bit noisy though.

    most Monty Python fans will get the reference.

    Especially if they are also Yorkshiremen.

    Being a USA type we did not get enough MP to catch all the ref's. Not in my neck of the woods anyway. I love some MP though.

    TV? Oh yeah I remember that thing in the corner I use just to watch DVD's with....sometimes.

    I remember rabbit ears and big dials on TVs that went "CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK CHUNK" when you "channel surfed" the 7 out of 13 channels that comprised all of television land.

    Seven of 13 ...
    There were only three channels!

    I thought it was 7 of Nine. Oh, wait. Wrong thread. Is this the Star Trek Fans Unite thread?

    No, seriously. The whole time I was growing up it was only NBC, CBS and ABC. Then when I was in my late teens, FOX finally showed up, but we couldn't get it to come in with our antenna. My sister and I both list our first jobs as "TV Remote Specialist" because when Mom wanted the channel changed she would point at the TV and say, "Channel 8." And we also had to stuff a matchbook behind the dial to get it to come in. Don't know why that worked, but it did.

    We occasionally caught an episode or two of Monty Python, but mostly it was sneaking the tv in my room to watch Benny Hill on Saturday night.

    well, in NY we had the big 3 networks, abc, cbs and nbc (2, 7 and 4 respectively) but we also had 5, 9, and 11 which were local channels, and 13 which was pbs. Everything else was static.
