That was wild. It's hard to imagine that actually happening, but I know it did.

The structure of how TV was setup seems like it would be insanity now. They just used fast scan TV EM signals and bounced them wherever. If you got in the middle between them, or simply pointed a much more powerful transmitter/antenna array at the relay, you could override the signal.

Crazy. WTF.

I recently was looking for anything I could find for the max headroom TV series and couldn't find a thing anywhere.

Oh well.
