Me: "I saw a boob!"

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

My tv played the audio too!!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 16 hours ago

Most of the cable scrambling methods didn't f over audio. But it was kinda wild west so ymmv

[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

It was the Disney Channel!

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I remember my TV getting "TV1000", some local paid channel I guess, with straight up porn coming on right at midnight. But it was encoded in a way that you could see everything with perfect picture, but the colors were inverted. So everyone looked very blue, and had blackish teeth and white shadows between their teeth.

Still though. The hardcore sex was good. 🙃

Did it awake in anything in you?

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

Well it fucking kept me awake, I'll tell you that much. Maybe something else awoke as well. 🍆🍌🥒🌶️🥕🫛🥖🌭🍼🍾

But nah, I've just been a horny dude all the time since I was like 10–11. High libido guy.

Yeah, we found a way to bypass the parental lock on our old C-Band satellite system. The glory days.

Spice

100% the Spice channel.

[–] db2@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago

Definitely Spice. Or so I'm told.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago

I used to record VHS tapes of Spice channel and sell them to friends, my uncle had a descrambler. Glad to have experienced those heady days of analog piracy.

[–] MelodiousFunk@slrpnk.net 5 points 1 day ago

Ooh! A boobie!

Probably. Maybe.

...elbow?

If you flipped back and forth sometimes it would be clearer for a second

[–] PillBugTheGreat@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

The tv we had growing up, if you had the channel info box up, it would lock the scramble scroll in place, so you had a pretty decent picture. My adulthood insomnia is to blame for those late night sessions of creeping around the house in search of titillation.

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Or between "programs" the channel would clear up for a minute or more.

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago

Aayyyeee. You know what's up lol.

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Oh man, if just the right flesh tone flashed by at just the right part of the audio . . .

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

I have a distinct memory of waking up with my hand in my pants, The static channel on TV, and my father angry disappointed at me on his way out the door to work.

Oops.

you misspelled "the coolest kid on your block"

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I'm too young apparently. I do miss television static though. Especially because cosmic microwave background.

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I remember good porn music.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 day ago

*Good music. The porn wasn't guaranteed.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I heard moaning and saw a boob!

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 day ago

Scamblevision.

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Am I the only one who grew up with a black box?

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago
[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Sometimes it would just be the audio and you sit real close to the TV with the sound real low and your hand on the off button. Staring at the lines hoping to see something

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

I see a river flowing into a swamp
