nope not here...i remember when we got cable....it was awesome...then what was really cool was that it was on a cable box with a remote!  Yes a REMOTE....no more going up to the tv and turning the knob...yes Knob..not a button...but a knob  you actually had to use more than one finger..

Everyone got 2 -13; not everyone got 14 - 83.  You either had to have a newer antenna or have a second one on the stack.

I dont know where you all got your cable...but here on antenna...all we got was 2,4,10 and 12  all the other channels were cable for us...3,56789 11 14

The custom Conversion Vans of the late 70's and early 80's were always a trip

My parent bought a 77' dodge conversion van right off the show room floor, I  bought it off my mom for my first car.

16 with a van with a fridge and a bed in the back.....rolling party

You forgot to add that the remote had a 100 foot cable attached to it.

[Timmay]

I can remember when we got our first microwave and vcr....all in the same day...dayummm  the Bateman household was stepping up...

We had no remote for our cable.  But we had this strange sliding channel changer.  We got all the Seattle channels, Vancouver and Victoria, BC area channels.  We also got KTVU from Oakland, later replaced by WTCG Atlanta (later known as WTBS).  We also got a Portland channel and Showtime.  That was about it.  But it was cool to have cable because the Canadian channels often had the same shows as the American channels.  So we could watch them at a different time since VCR's were not common or in existence then.
