[QUOTE="wnyfjr, post: 1271472, member: 20046"] We had a Zenith B/W tv...with a remote! It was called the Channel Commander and it had two whole buttons. One to turn it on and off and the other to change the channel: UP only! If you clicked it too many times and passed your channel, you had to cycle through all the VHF channels to get back to the one you wanted. If you wanted to watch UHF, you still had to get up and turn THAT knob! Of course, where we lived we only got about 10 channels total, so no biggie! Then Dad put one of them new-fangled antennas on the roof that you could turn. Had a big box on the top of the tv and you would turn the large knob to the direction you wanted and it would s-l-o-w-l-y rotate the antenna on the roof. Hi-tech indeed! [/QUOTE]
