I remember when TV's had a button on the console to change channels.

(You actually had to get up and touch the TV!!!!)

That button is still there....I think we just forgot about it
Today kids want to change the channel and can never find the remote, so they get up from the couch to look under the couch and walk past the tv looking for the remote, but forget that they can change it on the console

You'd remember when there wasn't TV wouldn't you old chap
I remember when there were only two dials, the big clunky one for 2, 7 & 9 and the smooth smaller one for SBS. Also remember when there was only ABC outside of Perth.
But then, we only got TV at the station in 2002...

The other day, my 5 year old couldn't find the remote, got up and changed the channel on the console......I didn't know you could do that.

haha you all laugh about how you USED to have tvs with buttons...we have a tv with a dial! There is no sbs, just 2/7/9/10 and it has those 2 aerials sticking out the top & you have to get up to change the station and move the aerials for each station. It also has smaller dials to change the colour (to black & white!!), v-hold and brightness. It's fantastic!!

When I was a wee lad, we had a TV from radio rentals (or some such company) - you used to have to put 20 cents into it to get another 30 minutes of TV!

When I was a wee lad (bcoz now i'm such an old fart) I almost missed my return flight from NZ because I had spent over an hour almost finishing sonic the hedgehog 2 - good times

The first TV in my house had a remote control with a cord. It was a bit like a computer mouse.
