  I still remember being 12, and jerking off to scrambled porn channels. It came in juuuuuuust good enough that you could sometimes see body parts.

  Then one day it came in a lot clearer, and it turned out to be the home and garden channel.

  My buddy’s older brother did the thing where you remove the little filter cylinders from the coax in, I think(?), the curbside junction box. I saw the cylinders and the result, but not the deed.

  We had one or the ones with a slider to change channels.
