Remember when you had to get up to change the channel on a television?

[Blitty]

Yeah, me neither.

I remember losing a tooth after tripping over the clicky remote's cable.

Adult tooth?

 

[reno cool]

babay tooth

agreed reno, them newfangled dvr thingies are so fokking unresponsive

I kinda miss my regular old cable and 27-inch CRT TV

picture was crisp and channel changes were instantaneous

 

[Blitty]

My channels change pretty quick..

My son cracked his front adult tooth and chipped the other one a couple weeks ago. Looks like Jim Carey in Dumd and Dumber. Thank god we are Canadian and get free dental, but we do have excellent private insurance as well. No doubt we would have been paying at least a couple thousand for his dental work.

I have an old (8 years old) Sony Trinitron I will sell you for $20. You cover the shipping. TV has an excellent picture.

No they don't. You just got used to the delay. There is that half-second black screen between channel changes and then it takes another split-second before motion resumes.

Analog cable was frickin' instant.

One of my front teeth is half-fake, chipped it real good around the age of 12. Spent a full day before I could get it repaired - breathing air in through the exposed nerve ranks pretty high as far as unpleasant experiences go.

I remember watching cartoons as a kid:

 

[Matty]

My grandma had one of those. We would eat lunch at her place in 2nd grade and we'd watch the Flintstones in B&W on that ridiculously-outdated thing.

Had to set one dial to UHF *clack clack* and the other one to the proper channel *clack clack clack*.

: you know what I'm talking about pal.

Plus since I don't have hd (I assume), I'm constantly having to adjust the zoom, and the picture is crappyish. I'd be happy to go back about 12 years as far as my tv's concerned. Sony Trinitron :

 

[PuckOff]

I watched the Flintstones every day at lunch time when I was a kid right up to high school. Etait-il en francais?

 

[Matty]

Les Pierrafeu. Oui oui.

 

[Matty]

I don't have hd

Dude, WTF. If you upgraded your TV but not your source signal, your picture is a lot worse than what it was with the old analog cable.

Upgrade that shit, negro. Didn't know you could still subscribe to non-HD digital cable.

 

[reno cool]

might haveto do it for hockey season.

They charge a significant amount for it though, plus I'd have to start farting around with 3 digit channel #s. the whole thing is bullcrap.

 

[Matty]

Or just subscribe to NHL Gamecenter on your laptop and plug that shit into your TV.

Assuming that you're not still using a 486-based laptop.
