Ahh the golden days of scrambled Cable channels. A young man’s frist foray into the naughty video world. You’d watch it for hours just to see the ocasional naughty part. Ahh Good times…

Watched the whole thing and all I saw was a hairy face
Maybe it’s like a rorschach test, if so then I’m really scared.
I saw bra-encased boobies.
And 25 years ago, that would have been enough.
“Hey, a bewb! Oh, wait, just a knee.”
I remember when that channel was channel 99.
Please tell me this isn’t really porn…I really like this website and I don’t want to stop visiting it
Don’t be a prude. If you don’t like it then feel free to not look at it but leave the rest of us alone.
Don’t be so quick to impose your opinions on someone else. I happen to agree with Annalyn, and I would feel like the world has become a little more crass and unpleasant if a website dedicated to happy reminiscing featured items such as this.
Now let’s all shake hands and agree to let it go.
Wow, you’re a pussy
You are imposing your opinions on someone else…
This IS happy reminiscing for guys.. there are a lot of guys in there early-mid 20s who remember watching this when they were little. It doesnt mean they like it anymore but its just a memory.
Get over youself
Just here to say that GIRLS also watch porn, so it’s happy reminiscing for us as well.
Carry on.
Tell that to my wife.
I need to agree. I’ve seen violence and things we tried as kids that was stupidly dangerous for us are ok to be nostalgic about, but breasts are that scary?
Considering you can’t see whether or not it is porn, you’re left with two things: What you can see, and what you think it is.
You can’t see whether or not it’s porn, you’re asking other people what it is, in the fear that it’s porn, and you’re intimating that you won’t stop visiting the site if you’re convinced it is porn.
If someone tells you it’s porn (as the article already insinuates it is), then will you take their word for it? Even if they believe they’re telling the truth, how do you know it isn’t their imagination filling what they can’t objectively see? Would you be willing to stop the site based on information conjured someone else’s imagination?
The crux of the matter is interpretation, and your reaction resulting from it. You’re not sure what something is, and so you’re asking someone else’s direction in order to determine whether or not you should be offended by it.
Why not be offended or not based on your own interpretation, rather than someone else’s? Why not make your own choices?
This. If you can’t tell, it’s nothing to be offended by.
I agree. Porn screwed up my own childhood, and those of many people I grew up with.
For those telling Annalyn to stop being a “prude,” do some research. Porn isn’t harmless like most people believe. Go educate yourselves. I’m tired of people disregarding those who hate crap like this and whose lives have been negatively effected by it.
I don’t see anyone saying it’s harmless, they’re just saying they feel nostalgic about it and that if you don’t like it, don’t pay it any mind.
As for me, since it’s just a scrambled video, I don’t care. Most of it’s left up to the imagination anyway.
How exactly does porn screw up one’s childhood?
The same way video games turn everyone who plays it into mindless killers. The same way rock music makes us commit suicide. The same way dancing turns us into sexual deviants. The same way…
It goes on and on. “Anonymous” doesn’t understand the concept of personal responsibility. Certainly seems to have a handle on self-victimization though.
Really? Oh right, porn is the problem…Just like WoW is the problem…Just like Twinkies are the problem.
No, the real problem is that certain people are more susceptible to addiction and of those 95% cannot even take responsibility that the problem is them.
It is always the “thing” the evil looming “thing” not the weak person who lacks the fortitude to not over indulge in “that thing”.
If Q-Bert were here he would have a thing or two to say to you.
THANK YOU.
Porn is harmless for 99% of the people who watch or enjoy it.
The other 1% are the type who have addictive personalities and could get addicted to wearing plaid.
And to those who say it demeans women or crap like that… hai, I’m a woman, and porn is not da debil. Kthx.
“The other 1% are the type who have addictive personalities and could get addicted to wearing plaid.”
This makes me giggle. It’s also true.
I’d prefer it if mainstream porn weren’t full of skinny but ridiculously enhanced women with bleached blonde hair, though…Not because I think it hurts women (the type of people whose opinions on beauty are swayed that much by porn aren’t the type of people you’d want to attract anyway), but because they’re BORING.
Evidence, please?
kthxbye
Scrambled pron always had the best(i.e. lame yet still more intricate than boy+girl=sex) plots ever…. Ah the days I would skip school and watch it like a snow-filled soap opera.
..I was an odd teenager
Ah the olden days before widespread internet.
Ha-ha! Multiple entendre!
Aah, analog cable… When all you needed to get free Cinemax (assuming that’s what channel this was from) was a ladder, a loop of copper wire and a railroad spike
Not just young *men* – I remember summers at home with nothing to do at 15, nowhere to go, no boyfriend, and the new scrambled porn channel on cable that you could see and sometimes hear. Ah, the days before the internet and free short clips & Literotica…
Ah yes, this particular episode was one of my favorites – it was an episode featuring an old fashioned African elephant show (similar to a Mexican donkey show, I suppose, though I’ve never REALLY seen either of them).
As an adult, scrambled homemade porn is the best!
lol I use to do this for the playboy channel
Whats with the music?
Reminds me of a silent burlesque film with this music. I think it’s cute.
Don’t forget to smack the T.V./VCR ;D
That’s disgusted. Stuff like this f***** up my childhood, mine and my cousins. There’s nothing funny about 8 years old girls watching the scrambled channel and then being molested by their older sister.
This is sick and it should be removed.
That would be your sister’s fault, wouldn’t it? Not the porn’s.
it sounds to me like the porn is fine and your SISTER should be removed. Place the blame where it belongs.
That’s what we call “projection”.
“…A young man’s frist foray…”
Good one, Jeremy W! I see what you’ve done there!
Luckily for those of us with a basic knowledge of electronics this “scrambling” was easy to overcome. All they did was broadcast a 15750 Hz sine wave that as 180 degrees out of phase with the horizontal sync of the video frame. All you had to do was generate your own 15750 Hz sine wave, mix it back in, and *poof*, unscrambled porn (or HBO, Cinemax, etc…)
If only I was older at the time.
I must now go back in time and create this device! Or…uh…I could just go to a porn site. Maybe I’ll call my girlfriend instead. She is like porn but more realistic!
Oh no! Porn ruined me!
hahaha!! I remember staying home from school and watching scrambled porn! That was back when satellite dishes were way better with channels like A1 1-25, G5- 1-25, etc etc, tons of channels and tons of scrambled porn!!
pssssssssst
>.>
this site scra,bled it, so it’s ok
Haha! I thought I was the only one who did that when I was a kid haha
I never watched scambled porn on TV. But in the early 80’s with no cable, I watched just about everything else scrambled. With scrambled TV we got about 5 channels, only 2 of those which were good at all. So, this submission really makes me nostalgic for the good old days of smacking the TV to get a better signal.
P.S. This video doesn’t look like porn to me.
They should use saloon music in porn more ofter.
i used to think if i recorded it scrambled and then play it back on tape at a certain speed i could see more out of it lol. never got around to testing that theory. but by then, dad got the good ole black box, and all the channels were free yaayy!
I got a boner watching this
So to the terrified porn people…did you bother to read the youtube poster’s description?
“I think Party Girl with Parker Posey was playing on the scrambled channel. The song playing is “Weeping Willow Rag” ”
Sigh. (No, there is no nudity in that movie…go look it up.)
I think this post is about all scrambled cable, anyway. And why do you care beyond what you CAN see in the video? After all, if you mux anything with the right key it can become anything else.
Oh man I thought I was the only one who watched scrambled porn :’(
We had a calling tree in Junior High/High School for when the scrambled channels suddenly came in crystal clear for days at a time. Somebody at our cable company needed fired.
Why is it stuff like this is only for “a young man”? I totally snuck back into the tv room after my parents when to bed to watch the scrambled porn. The best was when the premium channels would do those free week promotions…nothing was scrambled then.
I had a little black and white tv that had a radio-like dial for channels and if I fiddled with it long enough I could get the porn channel unscrambled. Best three years of my teenage life.
I remember going to visit family in Vegas and watching the scrambled porn channel. I was the happiest 13 yr old in the world when I figured out that by hitting the volume button at just the right time, the scrambling would freeze where it was. If you did it just right, you got the entire picture!
I’m not sure whether scrambled porn is exaclty something to get nostalgic about. It’s a memory for sure, but to me it belongs to the category of memories of being an adolescent so desperate for some kind of masturbatory visual aid, that you resort to the lingerie models in the Kmart circular, or as one comedian (I forget) once joked about, the Quaker Oats guy because it “almost looks like a chick…”
Maybe scrambled porn makes us think of a time when porn was kind of rare and special. Once upon a time, you couldn’t instantly access an infinite amount of it on your computer… You had to go to a special place go buy it, and then you had to figure out where to hide it in the house and so on. Actually it was a little more fun, in retrospect.
Anyway, I do remember one time when the scrambled porn channel came in clear due to some glitch. That was exciting… I remember flipping back and forth between channels 98 and 99 trying to no avail to get the thing to come in clear again…
