But my boys don't believe that we didn't have "at least" cable TV (we have a dish) - and we had only three channels ABC/CBS/NBC and to switch there was a box that controlled the antenna on the roof. You had to move the arrow on the box and the antenna went zzzclickzzzclick until it reached the direction you wanted to aim it to recieve the TV signal.

They are certain I have made this story up!

Rabbit ears wrapped in tin foil. The only time we could stay up late was to adjust those rabbit ears so dad could watch his show while ma went to Bingo at the catholic school on Wed. nights.
