| It's what Americans call non free to air television. You're probably being downvoted because it's intrensic there and they assume you must know about it. |

Pretty much all houses that have been occupied in the last 50 years have at least one coax cable coming out of a wall jack or a corner of the floor. MoCA adapters allow for a nice home networking backbone in a house like that. |

| It's like TikTok but you hit buttons instead of swiping. |
| |
| ▲ | bdangubic 9 hours ago | parent [-] | | that sounds like a lot of work | | |
| ▲ | pndy 4 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Nearly same thing but instead of smacking the screen you'd actually press the physical button on remote control and run in circles with channel's list to find anything remotely interesting. | |
| ▲ | mcphage 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | The trick is you hold the controller in your limp hands, with your fingertip resting on one of the channel buttons. Usually the plus. So when you want to swipe you just extend your index finger just a fraction of an inch. And the screen changes. They dialed in the interface over years, and have gotten it to a process with almost no work involved. |
