I do miss the analog days of channel surfing when changing channels was instant. Once everything went digital and it took 1-2 seconds to change the channel, it wasn't as much fun. Now with streaming it's a huge hassle to change the channel.

I miss a lot of shit. That's not one of them.

What I truly miss is the time it takes to switch a (analog) channel, meaning the time until a full picture of the new channel appears on the screen. Best satellite receiver I had could switch between 2 and 3 channels per second, and display them on the screen. I don't even know if a digital TV exists that reaches half that speed.

Unironically the new xumo streaming boxes that cable companies are pushing let you relive that joy. You have the same channels but it’s done over WiFi and not coax.
I’m more surprised boomers haven’t yet revolted over them, when you turn it on it doesn’t go back to a channel automatically ; you have to choose the live TV option.

Yeah, kinda, there's less sense of cultural FOMO now that anything can be watched whenever
