"I can barely remember tv from my childhood. The ads are long gone from my memory
 same here and no colour, push button telly with 2 or 3 channels  "

"Ahhh the dial changer and then you would still need to jiggle the aerial to get a decent pic  "
My dad was an electrical engineer so he put a big aerial in our loft eventually. I remember the knitting needle antenna you spent ages adjusting |
