Used to eat real good off the black box

Then the channels went into the triple digits, and it was a wrap

I remember Comcast was putting the channel's into the triple digits one by one on some weekly shyt.

I'd just sit there each time a channel moved up.

I tried scrambling the box on my own one day...by sticking rolled up aluminum foil into the back of it
Blue sparks shot out and the box died. I plugged the cable cord directly into the tv and put the box into a closet , nobody ever asked any questions about it

I tried it with a coat hanger

In hindsight...I'm lucky I didn't shock the shyt out of myself.

That 90s black box with the red button was gawdly

All the free pay-per view wrestling events, boxing matches, and movies galore

Discovering the Spice Channel for the first time

Remember, when they tried to get slick, and made your cable blue and scrambled if you had the box connected to the cable box

Then you realize all you had to do was press the red button and unplug it, and you was still able to get the free pay- per view

for like a month. And you just had to repeat the process until mom's finally got satellite dish.

The 90s

The legendary Black Box..the small little square one from Cox was basic and the medium one that had HBO/Showtime/Cinamax/Spice/Boxing/WWF PPVs. Damn..so many fukking fiascos growing up with that shyt
