How did the Federal Budget help your cost of living.

Before flat screen Tv's in caravans.
(Preview)
What did folks use for watching Tv in a van? In the old days, probably before about 2003 or so. I can't remember before my caravan days. I couldn't imagine having the old type big box in a van. Were modern style antennas available back then.
