When people began buying those parabolic satellite dish antennas for TV, pictures weren't scrambled. If it came on TV and it was within your reach (and within whatever TV system you were using), you could watch it.

I can remember watching the ABC News with Peter Jennings with a satellite antenna in the 1980s (in Oklahoma).

When the news broke away for a commercial, they didn't show the commercial. Pete slumped in his chair and lit a cigarette. He talked to the stagehands. Then a makeup girl came and took his cigarette. He sat up straight and she dusted his face with a powder puff.

Yup, those were the days.

:wink:
