Spice

100% the Spice channel.

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 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Aayyyeee. You know what's up lol.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

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.

you misspelled "the coolest kid on your block"

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month 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.

Me: "I saw a boob!"

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

I remember good porn music.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

*Good music. The porn wasn't guaranteed.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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. 🙃

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Scamblevision.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago

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

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month 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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

It was the Disney Channel!

I see a river flowing into a swamp

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