Remember when you had to get off your chair
 

To change the tv channel?

That shit was just stupid :disgust

true but there wer only 3 channels so it didnt take long. now would be a nightmare

I remember before color TV and before touch tone phones.

That's it. You nailed it.

just cause bitcoins weren't invented...

no ned 2 get ur panties in a bunch... :2 cents:

Exactly.

That was before my time. I at least grew up with a tv that had a wired remote.

We had to use a rotor to change the channel.
turn it and you could hear the thing moving on the roof..lol

Yes and then I also remember when my family had a remote but it had a wire on it that plugged into the tv.

Edit: I hope nobody saw that...

:1orglaugh

My TV remote broke 6 months ago so I do that. Although I watch TV only once or twice a month, so no bug issue. Plus I do not go through channels like crazy.

Haha what did you do?

I remember the click - If you could make the right noise in your throat you could change the channel - I could make that noise....

Hours of fun...

hell, i remember when I had to get off my chair to take a crap

Remember the metal knobs? Me and my brother were scared to touch it because sometimes you'd get a static zap so powerful you could actually see a blue arc to your finger. Eventually I learned how to smack the knob with my knuckle first to discharge the static.

Then you grab that knob with your wrist cocked as far as it would twist, and spin that fucker all the way around. My dad would get so pissed.

It was a bad taste joke that I am not proud of. Lets leave at that...

TV closed down for the night with the national anthem.

Then you had to watch some scary thing with a clown in a bath all night - What was that about?

Thank god for Channel 4....

And then you wanked to the testcard girl :helpme

On the old cable boxes with the big box of buttons attached with a wire, you used to be able to jam two buttons down at once and the scrambled channels would unscramble. But only if you did it just right. The first movie I ever saw on HBO was Rollerball..

And manual channel search on old TVs, biggest shit i saw!

Yeah, I had to be under five and pretty sure I thought it was dumb then too.

I remember having a remote for a VCR and thinking we were the shit, even tho it had a wire.

My friends were impressed by our ability to change the channel with a device.

Now everything in my home is controlled by my iPhone and iPad.

damn, crapphone, crappad fanboys taking over even this crapple unrelated thread :disgust

Haters gonna hate...

I went from an Apple 4S to Android for about 4 months and hated my life, instantly went back to the iPhone. It's a system I'm a costumed to and like it, and think their products are superior than android based devices.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but mine is the only one that counts ;)

Why is that superior? Phone is a phone, tablet is a tablet. Who cares about OS, of course those who pays double the price cares :)
Ps: I have win 8 phone if you ask, and I do not care, I could have android phone, i could even have ios phone, phone is just a phone.

U talking my language bro :thumbsup

However, when I used to place 50 blank tapes, into a bank of VCRs, the 'master' VCR (That they were duping from) had a corded remote!

All the rest had to be done by hand :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

I can't afford your crap posts.

:) indeed.
