There are so many channels available over air now might as well just get an antenna and save even more.
The problem is I can’t get ESPN and Fox Sports via OTA and that’s about 75% of my tv viewing.
“There are so many channels available over air now might as well just get an antenna and save even more.”
There has been a rebound in homes with antennas in our area. Besides the do it your self people, Radio Shack and a local tv shop have some packages of high quality and fairy expensive antennas.
However, it will not work in our area as we have some hills and lot of trees that will block the signals. I know one guy who lives about 500 yards away as the crows fiies. His home is on higher ground. He got the raping bill from Comcast at Thanksgiving time. He had an antennae costing about $500 with a antennae rotator installed. He says he has better tv reception than with Comcast or satellite. He has the Hughes satellite internet, and it works for him. He put in two of the stand alone wireless home phones. He had the antenna installed last Dec, and his savings to date has paid for the cost. His cost for the Hughes internet and stand alone wireless home phones is less than $100 per month.
His savings are about $1600 per year.
