A long time ago, in a living room not so far away… the home theater experience consisted of a rooftop antenna screwed into ye ‘ol black and white TV with some 300 ohm antenna wire, and the choice of 3 different TV channels on the dial. There were no colored cables to figure out, no on-screen guides, and certainly no set-top boxes. Heck, TV’s didn’t even come with remote controls back then, but you could breed your own if you really wanted to change channels from the couch.
