I remember those days, on Swindon cable.

You didn't need FilmNet if you had Swindon Cable back in the early days.

I remember evenings at a Mr P Wheeler's place, watching the original, and smutty, Home Box Office!

These kids would scream blue murder if they ever saw the original cable decoders, eh Nick?

Those HUGE dials on the front to select the channels ... amazing!

We never got Family Channel on Cable Midlands, when I first went 'multichannel' !

We just had a 'The Children's Channel' caption card instead !

God I miss those days, fond memories of watching Sophie Sprocket in the Ratkan Rocket on The Childrens Channel and Tintin on The Family Channel. both on Ye Olde United Artists Communications Analogue Cable TV.

Flextech, What happened?

Interesting to see what was happening 8 years ago, especially with schedules. See someone was showing Pugwall back then, god that was bad.
