Fucking Christ I hated this mindset.

Or, you know, just had old ass TVs. It wasn't until I was in high school in the early 2000's that we finally gave up on failing tuner on our ancient TV and got a "modern" CRT that had additional inputs.

It wasn't a "mindset". People went to whatever department store was close by and bought what they could afford. I remember going to AMES with my mom and dad and getting a 24" Magnavox to replace our 13" set. A colossal amount of TVs were RF only, all the way through the end of the CRT era.
