Sheeeeet, when I was a kid, our TV had a large twist knob and you used it to switch between the two West German stations, or the two East German ones. But you also had to pull the antenna plug from UHF jack and plug it into the VHF jack.

LOL. I remember switching the prongs between the two screws for UHF and the two screws for VHF (when I was in elementary school...before cable was available in our area). Our TVs had the twist knobs as well. My grandparents purchased one of the first models ever made that didn't have knobs.
