When was the first time you got cable at your place? We got it in 1991.

We got cable in 1980. At first it wasn't a box, it was this primitive switch thing that Manhattan Cable gave out. Eventually, it was a box the you had to manually change.

I think it was 1988. My parents got service from this really cheap cable company that didn't have a lot of channels. Then later I went over a friends house whose parents had service from a better cable company that had 2x as many channels. I bugged my parents about it for about a month until they finally cancelled the service and got the other company's.
