Sounds like that DirectTV ad scam.
“Watch hundreds of broadcast shows on your TV for totally free, no monthly bills. Free network TV. “
Yep, watch the three networks ABC, CBS and NBC for free, except commercials.
I have worked too hard to have to put up with that crap I had to when I was a teen.(before cable was available)
The GF has a $5 OTA antenna connected to a TV on the upper floor of her place and gets ~50 stations, many in HD. There’s even a old movie channel that doesn’t come with Comcast (called GET) that’s pretty good.
If you have more than one TV, maybe get cable for the “main” one, but hook an antenna up to any other ones. For local crap and occasional good movies, I can live with OTA.
The SCOTUS effectively shut Aereo down yesterday I see. That sucks.
Planet of the Apes: the originals, period. Estella Warren was the only reason I watched the ~8 minutes of the first remake. GIGITTY! Comparing the originals (even as they diminished in quality) to the new versions is like comparing Coke with sugar to the crap they call “Coke” with corn syrup - YUCK.
Yes, I know you can buy “Mexican” Coke made with sugar, but the bread and butter version sold here is swill.
