I just want to throw in here that with a small amount of effort, you can antenna yourself free television in full high definition.
Content: (I live in a 54,000 population town: 20 channels or so, nbc, fox, abc, etc.), major shows on major networks, live sports on certain days; Drawback: no Breaking Bad or other specialty channel shows.
Quality: Unbeatable all channels 1080i - No static, you either get the channel or you don't.
Functionality: I use Windows Media Center which works like a dvr.
Cost: $40 tv tuner on ebay, $20 antenna from Radio Shack. No contracts or subscriptions.
- elliottcarlson 13y agoI tried this, and living in a half-basement even with an antenna right by the window provided me with 1 channel in Spanish. So while this would be great if I didn't live in the middle of no-where with horrible OTA coverage, it doesn't help in every situation.
- Yhippa 13y agoTried the same thing and I might get 5 out of 20 channels in my area. Solution: move into the middle of the city. Not happening for me. I can't wait until Aereo comes to my city.
- asperous 13y agoI should mention that if you are thinking about this, check your coverage first: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29 Note that the best place to get signals is high up, on top stories or roofs. Sorry basement dwellers.
