whats a cable tv?
- bigbuppo 10mo agoIt's how we got our internet before the internet.

- mcphage 10mo agoIt's like TikTok but you hit buttons instead of swiping.
- bdangubic 10mo agothat sounds like a lot of work
- pndy 10mo agoNearly same thing but instead of smacking the screen you'd actually press the physical button on remote control and run in circles with channel's list to find anything remotely interesting.
- mcphage 10mo agoThe trick is you hold the controller in your limp hands, with your fingertip resting on one of the channel buttons. Usually the plus. So when you want to swipe you just extend your index finger just a fraction of an inch. And the screen changes. They dialed in the interface over years, and have gotten it to a process with almost no work involved.
- apublicfrog 10mo agoIt's what Americans call non free to air television. You're probably being downvoted because it's intrensic there and they assume you must know about it.
- noumenon1111 10mo agoIt is indeed intrinsic here in America. Pretty much all houses that have been occupied in the last 50 years have at least one coax cable coming out of a wall jack or a corner of the floor. MoCA adapters allow for a nice home networking backbone in a house like that.
