You could watch all the pay-per-view channels for free. I used to sneak downstairs to watch the Spice and Playboy channel when my moms was sleep. Now we got this damn digital shyt that can't be modified :snoop: . I miss the old days

:why:i remember watching all those channels. spice, adam and eve, and playboy. plus all the wwf ppvs. we used to record movies with the VCR too. i remember my dad never let the cable guys in the room that had the illegal box, on some this room is too messy line. we had the tricked out boxes for directv and dish network later on. now he just argues with the cable companies about the bill. the good old days. :why:

We never had that but one of my neighbors knew how to just straight up open the cable box that was in our front yard and connect/reconnect the wires so that we'd have every channel. Did this about 4 or 5 times, the cable company kept disconnecting, finally sent letters to like the whole block saying they'd be looking to find whoever was doing it and file criminal charges.

I had a "Zapper."

I could use it to flash my box to get free cable...and when the cable guy was coming I could just flash it back to a normal box.

Next level shyt my friends :wow:

Those were the days. I remember watching the same movie over and over again on PPV. And being able to watch WWF PPV's for free was the highlight of my childhood.
