If we’re old enough, we remember going there and wandering through the aisles, trying to find something we would commit to. It was just as hard as picking something to watch today. There’s something incredibly important about not having the option and just going with the flow, which I think a lot of people won’t admit they like but actually do. It’s something truly missing from today’s society.&lt;p&gt;Actually, now that I think about it, I believe this is why TikTok succeeds so well, along with all the doom scrolling—it’s exactly like this. You don’t know what you’re going to get next. Maybe you like it, maybe you don’t, and that’s okay. You’re just flipping through it.</text><parent_chain><item><author>slazaro</author><text>I&amp;#x27;d echo the sentiment that this is amazing, and that a TV guide would be awesome.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;d also suggest maybe adding the channel names (like the comment you posted here) to the app itself (although i think it&amp;#x27;s cool when it&amp;#x27;s unnamed and you get the old-school feeling of channels just being numbers).&lt;p&gt;Also, I&amp;#x27;d love to have permalinks for the channels.

I don&amp;#x27;t know if this can be changed somehow, or have a mode to force mono audio (which would be also oldschool like old TVs with one speaker only!). It&amp;#x27;s probably too niche and hard to do though.&lt;p&gt;Also I don&amp;#x27;t seem to find any volume control except mute?</text></item></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Show HN: If YouTube had actual channels</title><url>https://ytch.xyz</url></story>
