MyDecadeTV: A set of nostalgic TV simulators that let you channel-surf the past

4 points by jojohack 11y ago ↗ HN

A set of projects I created to honor the pop culture memories of decades past. Basically, each site aspires to simulate the vintage experience of channel-surfing on a TV from a particular era. While you watch, you can also filter your selection by category and year.

Wow. Neat!

Wow, Bob Barker sure looks young!

I can't believe I'm watching The Price Is Right from 1973. But I have to know whether Jean will win the $995 organ.

A couple of suggestions:

You have the name of the shows under the video, but a person channel surfing in 1973 wouldn't be able to do that. Could you make that 'off' by default?

Also, there's no way to make it full-screen. I know it would lose the vintage rounded corners on the screen, but I think that's ok.

Oh, I see how to make it full-screen. There's a bunch more options under 'Menu'. It doesn't make the video full screen but it makes the app full screen.
