There are a lot of new over-the-air options that are free. Mostly older rerun networks that most of us would appreciate anyway (MeTV, Antenna TV, etc.)

Only downside is that the FCC has scheduled an auction for next year where TV broadcast license holders can put their spectrum up for bids to cell phone carriers. Some of these stations are only remaining on the air to secure their rights to their channel until they can sell it off to the highest bidder. OTA TV channels may start dropping like flies in 2 to 3 years.

As if cell phones do not have enough “spectrum”.

Then we will not watch ANY OTA tv.

No big loss. Will miss some stuff, but on the 20 or so OTA channels we recieve, 90% of it is garbage anyway.

Two sites. TVFool.com [figure out distance, direction to tower[s].

Solidsignal.com [if they don't have it..you don't need it].

I get ABCNBCCBSFOXPBS. Time Warner wants to offer that for $10, I get it off the air. ROKU..to Amazon Prime and Netflix.

I'm up $100 a month and have better content I an see WHEN I want to see, not when TWC decides when I should see it. Not that they have any content of value anyway
