Have you forgotten about VCRs? No one knew how to set them up properly and they only had 2 coax jacks.

Just set it to channel 3 and you're gold.

Then some asshole released YPbPr and completely blew their minds.

And every time you went to someone's house their VCR was blinking '12:00'.

I knew. I knew.
