We never even got a cable box. I think we finally got cable TV in the early or mid 1980s. We had a 17" Sony TV with "Trinitron technology" that my father said he bought in the early 1970s, even before I was born! That was eventually given to me when I went to college and it died in 2000 just before the Subway Series between the Yankees and Mets! We got good life out of that TV, but it died at the worst time.
Anyway, that TV had a very reliable remote control ... me!

I watched Mr Rogers and the Electric Company I said I was older not ancient lol.
Hehe, yep, I remember EC, too. That had the most annoying theme song.
