I vividly remember being a teenager and channel 5 coming out. It was a huge deal

We had to get a VCR in order to get our fifth channel - it was on UHF which our National Panacolor TV could not receive.

I was so confused when i found out not everyone had channel 5. And we had the vhs tuned to 5 on the tv so channel 5 was on 6...

It would've been, but I didn't get it until the mid/late 2000's. First I lived in Herts which only got it if you had Sky, then just before it came out there, I moved to Brighton, where it wasn't allowed because it interfered with radio signals along the north coast in France. Still not sure if I've ever watched anything on Channel 5.
