Folks said there was no need to purchase a new set when this one worked just fine. Also no cable back then. I watched color TV at the neighbors house. Those giant satellite dishes were just coming out when I met my husband, and I can remember his dad buying one for the back yard. It was crazy! This thing WAS the backyard! I was massive. The controller box was big and bulky too, but for awhile it was cool to be able to watch all those shows. It was to be short lived though, as dishes got smaller really fast, and having to purchase what you watched came to be. Was love American stle on at prime time when it was first out? If so, my folks must of been watching some cop show or animal program, casue I never saw that or Courtships of Eddies father until it was on during the after noons if I happened to be home sick from school.
