Remember those big 10’ satellite dishes for TV ? Still have mine collecting moss an wasp nests 😊 I see someone on here made an awesome coop out of two of them - looked like a space craft.

Now I have a small 2’ elliptical dish for satellite tv.
I remember when a farmer got one out on his farm. He got all the stations back then including the XXX stations until they found a way to block people with satellites I was told back then. I'm not sure that is true but he did get XXX feeds. I would think FCC might have gotten involved.
 
We had 3. ABC, PBS, and CBS. But you had to go outside and turn the antenna different directions depending on which channel you were trying to watch. Thinking about that, I can still hear my dad hollering for me to go turn the antenna :)
My dad took a home study coarse and built our first TV. It never had a case around it so we had to be extra careful around it.
