    I was jealous of fancy city folks with their 13 channels all showing essentially the same thing. I only had 3 channels essentially showing the same thing.

      Same here, I forgot about that. That’s right, you can go to channel, 2, 6, 12. Everything else was static…which you could watch if you want to.

        Yes. The thirteen positions on the dial seemed to be the product of rampant optimism.

        But I imagine some lucky city kid had several additional watching options.

          Wasn’t there a third knob for more channels? I remember having an old green screen that had a double knob on it for that. I don’t remember the number of channels possible though.
