Back then we lived in a new development in the Pine Barrens of south Jersey. We didn't have garbage pick-up or cable tv. I ran a cable to my neighbors house. Whenever we rented a movie or they rented a movie for $5, which was pretty often I called my neighbor and told him when I was playing the movie and visa versa. With splitters at each end of the cable it was a BOGO.

Our first vcr was a reconditioned panasonic that cost $350. That's enough for 3 years of Netflix at today's prices.
