[–] MonsiuerPatEBrown@reddthat.com 2 points 3 years ago (1 child) Our first tv with a remote control that wasn't me or my sibling using small vise grip on channel knob had a telephone included in the tv. Like this was in 1982 so not a modem ... just a tv with a land line phone built in that you have to use the remote to make or receive a call. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SOB_Van_Owen@lemm.ee 2 points 3 years ago Yes! Those channel knobs were so easily broken. I thought we were the only ones turning channels with pair of vice-grips clamped on the nub. permalink fedilink source parent
