Not just through the antenna, it was literally a part of the video signal. Was in the 13 (I think) lines after the sync but before any image. If you have a VHS recorded from British Tele, you can actually use that to view it (depending on the quality of the tape.)

    There is really only a couple of games I decided would have been better as a buy. If you like to play a game for 2-3 weeks then move on it was good. You could also try stuff that didn't have demos etc and decide if it was worth your time. After a year I'd seen most of the catalogue I was interested in and it was really only new releases that I kept it for, soon after I stopped it and now play my backlog.

    Although you needed the disk space and bandwidth to be able use it like that.

    I wouldn't sign up again, but I got what I wanted.

    I don't expect the office apps to continue supporting ltsc tbh, so hopefully it lasts long enough for you.

    Windows does aggressive caching now but will clear that if the memory is needed so I often find the in use value to not be as useful of an indicator now.

    I will say if that was a 4gb machine I don't expect it will run 11 that well, we now will only ok 16gb computers. Not just for windows, but chrome et al all have ridiculous memory usage now.
