Ok Shady, before the common or garden internet there was Cix and Compuserve... slower than you can imagine.
As for Sky I had an Amstrad receiver and a Thompson decoder. That was before BSB and the Marcopolo satellites which were moved when BSB went bust and became Thor1 and Sirius1...
On top of that before beta and VHS I had some Philips piece of sh*t I'll try find one soon
