Definitely Spice. Or so I'm told.

[–] DasAlbatross@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

Spice

100% the Spice channel.

[–] deranger@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Ooh! A boobie!

Probably. Maybe.

...elbow?

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

[–] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

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

[–] not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Aayyyeee. You know what's up lol.

[–] PillBugTheGreat@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] listless@lemmy.cringecollective.io 29 points 2 months ago

you misspelled "the coolest kid on your block"

[–] gibmiser@lemmy.world 26 points 2 months 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.

[–] HurlingDurling@lemm.ee 15 points 2 months ago

Me: "I saw a boob!"

[–] DMCMNFIBFFF@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember good porn music.

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 2 months ago

*Good music. The porn wasn't guaranteed.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months 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. 🙃

[–] MyDarkestTimeline01@ani.social 3 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Did it awake in anything in you?

[–] teamevil@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

It's weird when he sees the blue man group

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I'm blue da beh dee da beh dah 🫦

[–] JackFrostNCola@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

And the 'one more time' video clip

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] UltraMagnus0001@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I heard moaning and saw a boob!

[–] orbituary@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

Scamblevision.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] psycho_driver@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] tacosplease@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My tv played the audio too!!

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Landless2029@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

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

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 3 points 2 months ago
[–] son_named_bort@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It was the Disney Channel!

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 1 points 2 months ago

I see a river flowing into a swamp

[–] Dearth@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months 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

[–] Grabthar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

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