In the past five years (since we cut the cable) off the air antenna TV has been consistently expanding. Granted most programming is garbage, but there are now close to 40 off the air choices in our household, and we are 40 miles from the closest broadcast tower.
The best channels are the black & white movie ones and the old sitcom shows.
I don't have a "tv." I have a usb tv tuner hooked to my notebook and an outside antenna. It came with DVR software, no commercials! $50!
That and ROKU with Netflix is it for me. Wouldn't go back to cable if it were free.
What about news? I need to keep up with what is going on
