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

| Next they will discover wind up toys that don't use batteries and old time wall phones that never lose a charge or signal

| 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.

| 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.

Why don’t you fix your little problem and light this candle

| 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.

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.

Remember it well! I'm waiting for the resurgence of the rotary phone.

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.
