Has anyone ever tried recreating cable TV from the 80s / 90s / 00s...

Has anyone ever tried recreating cable TV from the 80s / 90s / 00s? If you were to buy a CRT and hook it up to your computer, then play a series of shows with some advertisements in between. All whilst having the same grainy look. Is it possible? I just want that old feeling of getting home from work and watching some Seinfeld from my futon bed.

>Autistically replicating the TV of your childhood because the modern world is so rubbish

This nigger gets it.

Lol no. It doesn’t have the same appeal as /vr/ games. No one actually liked commercial breaks or waiting for episodes to come out.

pop culture has been trying to replicate the 80s for the last 15 years, might as well match the picture quality and sound as well.

No, but I have wondered about the feasibility of a digital to analog converter that'd allow you to watch or record digital broadcast channels with an analog tuner.

My wife is pregnant with our 1st and my plan is to avoid the internet all together and give my kid a CRT TV, a VCR, and the VHS collections of every PBS kids show from 1997 or earlier.

based and wholesome pilled

Just use a CRT shader get some era appropriate commercials.

Better homeschool him too though, otherwise he'll hear about fortnite from all the kids at school.

thanks user, I think I might recreate this irl somehow

There's a few VHS uploads on YouTube, so I'm sure there's treasure troves out there. Just get a video card that does svideo or composite and go to town. Rf if you want the real poorfag experience.

Guess what buddy lol I got your ip address and Ill be mailing you all my raunchy vhs tapes.
I got so much pornos. Gay, milf, german school girls, bukkake, imported nip sick shit. Ill be chunking them in your kids room once he's 7.
In the meantime. Im going to groom your wife. She's a good dog. Going to groom her well. Trim her nails. Spay her. No pussy, no child. It will stay in her. Burst her like a xeno. Oopsie. Shoulda watched alien instead of pregger preparement vids.
Now Im gonna take your wive's place. You won't realize it. But I already did this 1 year ago.
It's me.
I'm your baby and you came in me.
Im gonna burst all my baby spiders in the hospital bed. Go get the sledgehammer baby. My head is feeling woozie.

You'd like the movie Brigsby Bear
No reason, just that you'd enjoy it

KOOKOO

How do you kids come up with these dumbass ideas? This one is worse then modern widescreen movies converted to a 4:3 pan and scans for "retro aesthetic." I swear you children are all retards to go along with this kind of stupidity.

I watch the x files on my Wii over Netflix. Pretty comfy. Also did some Pokémon anime

If you really want to capture the real deal feels you need a 90s tv with a round screen. Those early 2000s flat screen tvs like the one you posted in the op were 100% trash.

>homeschool
when you absolutely must give your child incurable autism

Goodwill is where to go. When my daughter was born I found a ton of old VHS tapes and dvds for kids there. My mom still had the last vcr and DVD players she bought kept in a closet like new. Hooked em up to an old Sony crt.

I don't do much with grainy looks etc but I have made a playlist of nostalgic TV show streams and will randomly generate eps from them in my browser to get a 90s-style lineup. Also use youtube vids of 90s ads as the commercials

Buy a digital TV converter box, which turns high definition broadcast television into 4:3 composite video. Then buy a TV from a thrift store for $10 and you're good to go.

I've never been in a room like that that didn't smell vaguely of tobacco, shoe polish, and wood.

>Is it possible?
The short answer: no.
The long answer: still no.

Sure, you can connect your computer to a CRT and watch old shows and commercials on it. But it will not be the same. Will not even look the same for a dozen reasons I will not get into here.

One final note: cable TV was only noisy (grainy) if you had a shit cable provider and set-up. And the true patricians had satellite television which was crystal clear.

>find full movie on youtube
>its a VHS rip
Please god give me every link you can like this. The movie I watched was the 12:01 protoGroundhog Day tv movie

I had just antenna since the 70's and it was always clear because back then the towers were still all close and not 100 miles away

go to /torrents/
there's a bread there you'd like

Probably much less interference from competing signals too.

I want to do this with my kid, but I the more I thought about it the more I realized it would be really fucking weird and they would reference cartoons and none of their peers would have any fucking idea what they are talking about.

Seems like it would be a great way to alienate your kid.

After some consideration I think the best approach would just be to get my kid some cool toys and a shit load of legos they can play with when they are young, and try to have them watch as little tv as possible when their brain is still forming so the talmudvision doesn't implant subversive ideas into their mind.

Indeed. Although you would still be limited by OTA standard definition television being equivalent to composite video encoding.

For a lucky few in the 90s it was possible to watch satellite television in RGB/Component video which was equivalent to the master feed being sent from the studios to the network affiliates.

As another note to anyone planning to do this: please do not download VHS rips and think you are seeing the same thing as the networks broadcast. DVD/Blu ray rips are much closer, but those always have their differences.

Television of the past is just that: the past. You can't go home again.

what I'd like is something to make plex start playing things from a commercial folder every 15 minutes or something..that'd be cool

still feels good to sit back and watch the old CRT tho

it's funny..when the train goes by, my picture gets clear

Of course. And I do this often. I have a 36" SD CRT connected to an old Sony blu-ray player in my living room (superior analog component out compared to other options). I load seasons of television shows onto a flash drive and watch them on it often.

Just go on this site and put in what you want

Those rails blast RF. I had a walkie I forgot I left turned on in my car, drove past a train yard and it sounded like martians were invading my passenger seat

That's not what I meant

I own a bunch of those old tvs and it's nice watching vhs of shows/movies my family used to record off tv on to blank tapes, it doesn't look the same though with a digital coverter box for cable tv. I still want my bad brains 82 concert tape back I recorded off some channel and someone has it at their moms house, someone in prison right now. That type of stuff still sounds better on vhs or cassette.

I'm gonna compile and archive ever minute of recorded live TV I can find, put in together in a master collection, and have a neat little timeline of TV history that you can watch in real time or skip through

It's called myspleen you idiots

quiet you

Youtube has a good amount but if your autistic go to myspleen they have tons of old vhs transfers with commercials intact

you're nostalgic for your childhood, not the shit you saw during it. you'll never get your childhood back. replicating shit from your childhood will only serve to draw greater contrast between your adult life and your childhood.

Pretty solid. If you screencap this and post it on reddlt, your mother will die in her sleep tonight. If you read this on reddlt, your mother will die in her sleep unless you delete your account.

You're going to raise an autist whose life will be miserable as a result. Watch Dogtooth for an extreme example. This is the pop culture equivalent of homeschooling your kid and homeschooled kids are freaks.

>homeschooled kids are freaks

not really, most are polite nice people unlike all the trash in american public high schools that are basically prisons for retard teenagers.

I had to toss a 68cm Sony flatscreen CRT like that because we are moving, broke my heart but I cbf dealing with some random stranger and selling it

Home schooled kids are better in all respects

Except social skills and ability to relate to normal people.

No, goyim, he needs to watch Nickelodeon, from the parent company Turner.

That's why you send your children to a good private elementary school because most of that socialization is important early on from kindergarten to 7th grade, if your kid is smart enough he can just go from 7th grade and get a high school diploma early on at 16 and go straight to college without dealing with all the lower class people in public high school.

>tfw used to own dozens of VHS tapes filled with random live TV stuff I had recorded in the 90s

Fuck

this is autistic as fuck. imagine if you grew up in 90's and your parents only played you movies and shows from the 30's and 40's. you would be a fucking weirdo among your friends. a total social outcast. kek

this is insanity, user. let it go

>imagine if you grew up in 90's and your parents only played you movies and shows from the 30's and 40's.
You'd be a swell swingin' young man with a love for your country and a fetish for a hard day's work.
What's so bad about that

I've tried and it's a lot of work. I think a better idea is having for example all old adult swim shows and have them randomly play at different times. Creating a que I guess on vlc would seem the easiest .

>fetish for a hard day's work
Good goy.

I think this is entirely because the average person is retarded, and it requires several years of deprivation to beat down anyone with even a modicum of intelligence to that level.
Also, people vastly overestimate the difficulty of learning basic social interaction. I literally never went anywhere until college, and it took me like a year. I literally didn’t talk to anyone that wasn’t a family member, or online, for several years at the end there, very self-imposed misanthrope. Meanwhile, my sibling, who participated in extracurricular activities, took like a month to make a bunch of friends.
It’s also a lot easier to talk with adults if you’re used to talking with adults.

nice job user I had a similar idea myself but no wife or kid yet,don't forget to how em pic/related

Personally, my advice is to avoid anything that is continuous. This includes YouTube particularly, but also continuous tv. Watch things with your kids, so it becomes something at least companionable. Nature shows are really excellent for young children, incredibly benign, yet still entertaining. Jeff Corwin is something that comes to mind from when I was a child, and things like Most Extreme. High quality animation is good, I’m talking golden age Disney and golden age Pixar. Avoid anything with advertisements at all costs. Kids minds are far too weak for that. Can’t comment on anime, but it seems like that could be a decent source, although I didn’t start watching it personally until I was a teen. Also avoid anything with too much real people. Soaps, dramas, whatever. First of all they’re boring, and they’re boring for the reason that it’s merely a lame duplication of reality. TV should always be imaginary entertainment, never a reality substitute.

retarded

he's just drinking drunkposting nonsense, give him a break, maybe he's completely sober and he's trying too hard, who knows.

you have mental illness, commercials and CRTs is not something to go back to

digital tv is garbage,you want to watch your capeshit garbage in HD but some people would rather watch old vhs tapes of frasier that look like shit, deal with it.

found OG pusiposter's long lost brother

VHS is an objectively inferior medium, never was one for dogshit sitcoms like fraiser (well, they're all dogshit quite frankly) but if you're into consuming shit the medium doesn't matter I suppose

doesn't change the fact all nostalgiafags mus fucking hang mind you, but carry on

but what if it's something like an old 80 hardcore band or 70s dub? still sounds better on cassette, what I hate about people like robert fripp that remaster their albums over and over ...they ruin the orginal sound of those old rotten albums or recordings of live stuff, not everything has to be digital, some like analog.

go to goodwill. they have a ton of vhs tapes.

I'm not gonna get into the whole audiofuckery philia, on this board or any other, but you do have a point there in that change for change's sake is bad, but cleaning up a sloppy recording (done right) is only a positive result because you get more data to interpret with your earholes, and if it wasn't fucking gay ass punk rock you might even appreciate it

as for dubs, they're not the patrician's way, however with one big fat obvious exception: hong kong dubs are perfect and kung fu films wouldn't be the same

>but cleaning up a sloppy recording (done right) is only a positive

no it's not, not at all...certain things should be left alone

maybe, probably not, be glad someone digitized steve vicious failing to play the most basic instrument known to man before the tapes rotted so you can still listen to the originals and compare/contrast to the modern editions (christ alone knowns why there's demand for it)

Yeah, I don't remember my television signal ever looking bad. All of that warping and fading and tracking is just people remembering stuff through the lens of horribly recorded VHS.

>steve vicious

who you mean sid vicious that played shitty bass on the first sex pistols? fuck that band

steve, sid, what difference does it make
nobody likes a steve let's be honest

lots of older recodings unfucked of certain bands are wanted for a reason, John peel would explain why but he he dead and gone. No use for explanation at this point if you don't even know the dudes name in sex pistols which is pop-culture at this point.

Homeschooled kids are generally far superior. The problem isn't with them. No joke, it's the equivalent of dropping someone who takes a shower every day, shaves and wears deodorant and clean clothes into an environment with a bunch of dirty starving poverty-stricken hobos. Of course they will not get along with him, he is the odd one out for being clean and healthy.

Society works strangely like that. As another example imagine you are 120 IQ and are dropped into a community filled with only 70 IQ people, who have no education - they can't even read or write. They are all meth smokers or alcoholics. They'd probably make fun of you and try to abuse you, despite you being capable of improving all of their lives if they'd only let you. But they won't because they are irreparably damaged psychologically, and will outcast the person who doesn't fit in even if he is better by every possible measurement.

my 90’s tv dot com, plays shows and adverts

I mean maybe but you still seem autistic to me. I sort of see it though because I know coming here everyday for 12 years has ruined my mind

>I sort of see it though because I know coming here everyday for 12 years has ruined my mind

that isn't his problem though, that's your problem, maybe you don't live in America filled with lower iq browns/blacks, my brother and sister along with me had to go to public high school and it really isn't a healthy environment for a 13 year old unless you want your kids on meth or heroin in socal high schools or you want your kid to go in and kill everyone with an ak for being bullied by nigs everyday like prison bullshit.

LOTS of OTA channels still broadcast in low resolution, and many are still using the original betamax tapes, so the signal is terrible, reproducing what you was in the 1970s/80s perfectly.

90s was gay, just turn off the tv bro
