I used to record VHS tapes of Spice channel and sell them to friends, my uncle had a descrambler. Glad to have experienced those heady days of analog piracy.

If you flipped back and forth sometimes it would be clearer for a second

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago

Or between "programs" the channel would clear up for a minute or more.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

Aayyyeee. You know what's up lol.

The tv we had growing up, if you had the channel info box up, it would lock the scramble scroll in place, so you had a pretty decent picture. My adulthood insomnia is to blame for those late night sessions of creeping around the house in search of titillation.

Me: "I saw a boob!"

I remember my TV getting "TV1000", some local paid channel I guess, with straight up porn coming on right at midnight. But it was encoded in a way that you could see everything with perfect picture, but the colors were inverted. So everyone looked very blue, and had blackish teeth and white shadows between their teeth.

Still though. The hardcore sex was good. 🙃

But nah, I've just been a horny dude all the time since I was like 10–11. High libido guy.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 4 days ago

you misspelled "the coolest kid on your block"

[–] [email protected] 26 points 4 days ago

I have a distinct memory of waking up with my hand in my pants, The static channel on TV, and my father angry disappointed at me on his way out the door to work.

Oops.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

My tv played the audio too!!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Most of the cable scrambling methods didn't f over audio. But it was kinda wild west so ymmv

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I remember good porn music.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 days ago

*Good music. The porn wasn't guaranteed.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

Oh man, if just the right flesh tone flashed by at just the right part of the audio . . .

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 days ago

I heard moaning and saw a boob!

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 days ago

I'm too young apparently. I do miss television static though. Especially because cosmic microwave background.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago

Scamblevision.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 3 days ago

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah, we found a way to bypass the parental lock on our old C-Band satellite system. The glory days.

Am I the only one who grew up with a black box?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago

Sometimes it would just be the audio and you sit real close to the TV with the sound real low and your hand on the off button. Staring at the lines hoping to see something

I see a river flowing into a swamp
