Nostalgia TV! Simulated CRT with VHS reels, static knob, and daily episodes that auto‑advance.

I built a 90s TV simulator that actually plays the shows — no scrolling, no decisions, just daily nostalgia

Most retro sites are databases. They tell you where to watch old shows. But they don't actually play them.

So I built THE TUBE — a fully interactive CRT TV simulator that streams real classic shows from the Internet Archive.

🔴 What makes it different:

• You turn the TV on — power button, static, tuning sounds, the whole ritual
• The channel decides what you watch — daily episode rotation, just like appointment TV
• VHS deck with spinning reels — resume badge, tape counter, the works
• Live Mode — auto‑tunes to the current scheduled show like a real television
• No decision fatigue — just lean back and watch what's on

📡 It's not a guide. It's a time machine.
