One thing to bear in mind though - the dreadful, rolling non synch cuts we all see on YouTube are mainly because video recorders in the 1980s were particularly poor at dealing with them, so most of the hash we associate with these transitions is because of that. TV sets of the time were far better at coping with a change of synch. If you were watching off air the most you might see is a very brief (and not even full frame) flash and perhaps a slight audio splat.
