Camped out in my buddy's basement in Akron during the 1996 Olympics and saw the Dream Team on his dad's illegal cable box
Now I can't decide if those scrambled Cinemax nights and free pay-per-views were worth the guilt, or if we should've just paid like everybody else. Where were you when you first saw channels you definitely weren't supposed to have?

My uncle had one of those giant satellite dishes in his backyard in like 1991, the kind that took up half the lawn and made this loud grinding noise when it moved. He showed me how to punch in coordinates to grab feeds that weren't meant for regular folks, and one night we watched a raw NFL feed with no commercials. Just dead air and guys standing around for like 20 minutes. It was boring as hell but also felt like we were spies or something. My aunt kept yelling at him that the neighbors would call the cops. Different time I guess.
