When I was a kid, I was the remote control. Dad would whack me on the back of the head and announce the channel, I would hop up, turn the dial and fine tune the antennae.
We were spoiled. We got networks from three different cities, Atlanta, GA, Chattanooga, TN and Huntsville, AL. A total of around 15 channels(9 of which were just different versions of three networks, ABC, CBS and NBC) We had a large antennae affixed to a metal pole, right next to one of the living room windows. I would open the window and use the attached piece of angle iron to "aim" the antennae towards the city in question. East for Atlanta, Northeast for Chattanooga or Northwest for Huntsville, AL.
