Anyone else likes to go back to "pre-HD tv times"?
Pretty much everyone here goes back to the pre-color TV days when a big screen TV was a black and white CRT with a diagonal measurement of 19 inches (that's 48.26 centimeters for you Europeans) and a set of "rabbit ears" on top. You could normally get the three major networks in the US (ABC, CBS, NBC) and if you lived in or near a big city, you might also get a public television station.

Or a UHF signal or two, where you could take in whatever programming the station operators got on the cheap.
I don’t predate television, but I clearly remember when a color TV was a BFD, and when such a magnificent thing would set a working man back at least a month’s pay. So they were often bought “on time,” as we called it back then.
