just because we had older TV in our children room shared with sibling in the early 90s it doesn't mean we were allowed to watch it unlimited

and it was not certainly unusual, in 90s kids could have already cheap ZX spectrum in their room which required TV, I don't really remember watching TV, but I remember playing Sim City on it

by the end of the 90s as teenager I've had my own TV with VCR so I could watch everything from record and skip ads this way, basically using ad blocker since 90s
