Guess I am old enough to remember the days when we only had 4 channels, but were lucky to live high enough on a hill to get a couple more from Ohio.

Than that 5th. channel signed-on using something called “UHF” and it was da bomb.

You must be near Pittsburgh. I remember getting 2, 4, 11, 13 over the air along with UHF channels 22 and 53 and later on 16. There were times I received channel 6 from Johnstown, channel 7 from Wheeling and Channel 9 from Steubenville. WE also received channels 27 and 33 from Youngstown. When we were kids, we watched channels 22 and the Money Movie on 27.

Back in those days my father had a remote control that never needed batteries. He’d call out to me or my brother, “Hey, get up and change the channel.”
