Cool. If I drop cable, I can get a bunch of commie stations and Univision. Why didn't I do this sooner?

In the 60's, I can remember being on the roof with my Dad turning the new antenna to get the best signal while my mother yelled from below. Later, I think we got a motor that turned the antenna on demand which we thought made us part of the middle class... | |||

Like 2PAK, I too turned the antenna. Mostly after a high wind. And went up the street to my buddys house so I could watch Bonanza. On his color TV. End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

They're gonna have a moose when they find out voice controlled remotes have been around since the middle 50s. Dad: David, would you turn up the sound a little bit? Dad: David, would you turn to channel 10? | |||

Antennas can only reap what is sown... In my area, I'd get 3-7 channels and UHF. So, I got a Roku... much more available for free via IP. | |||

| In the yahd, not too fah from the cah  |
Do new TVs even come with a coax connection anymore? I remember digging through my basement one time and found an old "clicker" remote, that had the 4 metal rods that would click when you pressed the button. Talk about old school. I also had a few boxes of the old roof mount antennas which would do UHF/VHF/FM/AM. | |||

I grew up using an OTA antennae , but here in the trees of Va. it does not work so well. so back to satellite. oh and for you "I stream everything over the net" guys, no I am on mobile data only at my house. We do not even have POTS here, I could legally make verizon do it but what would be the point? We have been mobile phone only for 10+ years because it was so friking expensive in Texas (anyone remember the TIF tax?) The further you are from a major highway the less you have access to cable, internet, and yes, OTA broadcasting. This business will get out of control. It will get out of control and we'll be lucky to live through it. -Rear Admiral (Lower Half) Joshua Painter Played by Senator Fred Thompson | |||

| Doin' what I can with what I got  |
Having just "cut the cord," I need to go back in the attic over the garage in my new house and check out the TV antenna and the wiring. The goddamned thing is the size of a Volkswagen. ---------------------------------------- Death smiles at us all. Be sure you smile back. | |||

I cut the cord a few years ago. Have a tablo DVR and a HD antenna, mostly so the tablo can record Jeopardy since I can't stream that. However, I also find it useful for watching sports when I remember that something is on a non-cable channel. | |||

| Get my pies outta the oven!  |
You can even get DVR's now that allow hookup of an OTA antenna so you aren't forced to watch anything in real time. I see more and more people getting fed up with 200+ dollar Comcrap cable bills and doing this. | |||
