We have a nice TV tower on a hill in Dresden: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/89/Dresden_Fernsehturm.jpg/199px-Dresden_Fernsehturm.jpg
It used to be also that you could go up there for a nice view of the city but it is closed now :(
So, getting our own programmes was not the problem, but trying to get TV from Western Germany resulted also in all kinds of roof sports. Kids from today with all those satellite dishes and cable and streaming probably don't know what an antenna is!
Although I really wonder how we survived back then without a TV remote ;) Then again there was no sudden commercial which is so loud that you have to change the volume all the time, and channel hopping with only two channels is also not working... But actually getting up and turning a knob on the TV? Does anyone remember that? LOL
