How the Amiga powered your cable system in the '90s

In terms of planning our lives around what our TVs spit out, we've come a long way from the overly condensed pages of TV Guide. In fact, the magazine was already looking awful obsolete in the 1980s and 1990s, when cable systems around the country began dedicating entire channels to listing TV schedules.The set-top box, the power-sucking block that serves as the liaison between you and your cable company, is a common sight in homes around the country these days.But before all that was the Commodore Amiga, a device that played a quiet but important role in the cable television revolution.Absolutely fascinating - I don't think we had anything even remotely like this in The Netherlands.
