Really, those things were enormous back in the day. Were they only 8'? They seemed like 12' when I was young.
They were 10'. I had one back in the 80's. They were great at first. You could watch shows without the commercials. You could watch feeds of what was going to be presented on network channels that coming week. You could watch news feeds being sent live from all over the world. I watched live feeds from Panama when they went after Ortega.
Could also watch all the movie channels for free. There were something like 600 channels available. Then the scrambling began and it was no longer worth having.
When I die I'm sure to go to heaven, cause I spent my time in hell.
You get more with a kind word and a two by four, than you do with just a kind word.
