Hey i had C-band Sattalite when i was little, took an hour to get a satallite tuned in, and even longer to find a station you knew.
We also had the futureistic hot air popcorn maker!..
Guess i didnt have it all that hard!
(oh I had an intellivision instead of the 2600 too!)
I do remeber copying audio cassettes to in school, not many people had the hifi with a dual cassette deck then
