these weren't quite remotes. remoted just controlled your TV
these suckers doubled your channels!
my neighbour had one - livin' the high life.




our first VCR was close to $1,000, had a 6 foot wired remote, so only the person
at the one end of the couch could control it

Comeds and Toni Collette would be a tough team to beat.

We could have a bumper stickers that said "Toni Collette Is My Co-pilot" and "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Toni Collette"

I'm reminded of that tweet I posted earlier of the difference in photo quality of Pluto 25 years ago versus today.

the ppv channels in the late 80’s early 90’s were always the “i think i just saw boob” scrambled channels.

Always remember times when some miracle happened and the channel would come in clear as day
