Dear youngs,

That wire thing on top of the tv was called an antenna, and you'd often have to move it all around to catch the signal for the channel you wanted to watch.

Ours was on the roof but the "move it around" thing still applied, particularly in certain weather. My dad occasionally sent me up there to "tune" in the horse racing and I had to stay up there and keep it oriented till the event was over.
