    My dad got these black market cable boxes from one of his less than reputable friends way back when. We got literally everything, including full porn channels that weren’t scrambled. They were technically blocked by my parents, but the family pincode was well known.

    I used to watch the porn channels and never could figure out why they were so… Meh for me. Turns out, very gay. Lol

    Once my parents split up we didn’t have those boxes anymore, and I used to watch Cat House and went through the same “why is this so frustratingly close to being good” experience lol

      I do believe it was a 4001 Diode soldered between pins 5 and 7; got everything but HBO…

      Used to have all my friends over for the WWF pay-per-views.
