Not too much. Before 1983 we had only one TV channel (TRT1, one and only,
state owned) and having a color TV was not making much difference since it
was already broadcasting B&W...:-) I remember clearly that I asked my father
what was the purpose of "channel selector knob"..:-)
We have countless (unecessary) channels now, counting the local ones (even
state has 5 channels), but still using TV antennas, since cable network

is state owned) is not everywhere, including the place where I live. We
generally (not me) prefer satellite antennas though, which are very cheap
here. (I mean the ones with analog receivers and 1-meter-diameter dishes)

Commodores, Amstrads, Spectrums and the like were available at the end of
1970's (1979?), weren't they?
