Backyard satellite dishes, 1981
Aug. 28th, 2011 11:09 amI remember these vividly! So many people in my neighborhood had them in the 80s. They were expensive, and slowly became less useful as the decade passed because more and more programmers started encrypting the signals.
Even though they're mostly useless these days I *still* sometimes see them, long abandoned, falling apart and disconnected, in suburban backyards.
