Ch. 42 when I was a kid was Nickelodeon. Good lord, I remember that but no names from anyone I knew in college. .......Ch. 43 & 44 were PPV, 45+ were HBO and the subscriber channels. 51 was NESN (New England Sports Network). You set the box 1 channel higher, switch the TV channel knob from 3 to 2, and you could watch the cable channel before it scrambled. NO ONE FROM COLLEGE. I REMEMBER NO ONE. Nickelodeon in the 1980's is worth remembering. Your College friends probably are not.  Now hold on I never said anything about these people being friends.   |

 The discovery of going through every channel even scrambled with the volume tuned way up and then finding the first vestiges of scrambled porn in 40 channels or less and never questioning why the numbers went from 1-10 and then from 11 to 65 |

I remember those rubbery buttons on the remote and picking at them with my finger nails until they were almost all gone. |

Of course most of us had our cable boxes hooked up to a TV like this.  |

This was the second and last cable box my family had. We started off with the black box with the silver knob, then we got the bad boy in the picture. Then we all got cable ready TVs. |
