tv antenna

[ultrarunner]

Back when cable came to my parents neighborhood the sales guys were going door to door signing everyone up and waiving basin install... the cost was $7.95 per month and my Dad told the sales guy he was not about to blow a $100 a year so the kids could spend more time in front of the idiot box... and that set the tone.

Mind you, the $7.95 was for basic... some added packages and were up over $20.

I can't rent a home or apartment that is not cable ready... even in Washington it was a constant source of turnover...

When tenants have a complaint about service they are stunned when I say I really can't comment since I have never lived in a home with cable TV...

I accidentally went to a channel "live" one time,,, (I watch EVERYTHING on DVR)
When I went to the channel live,,, I was shocked by the AD's,,,
Yes, I do watch too much TV,,, but, I have not seen an AD in over a decade. :confused2:

Clarification on watching AD's,,, I DO watch Superbowl AD's, they are better than the game,,,

LONG LIVE DISH NETWORK!!,,, I will not watch AD's, NO local antenna for me,,,, I even pay the extra for "Auto Hop".
YES, take my money,,, I want to watch what I want,,,,:cool2:

They say bigger is better, but it takes up the freeken page, like to post small and be able to click on it to go bigger, just cant figure it out

Fortunately Shaw dish allows several shared receivers on one account. Otherwise my tower would go back up with a new channel 7-51 antenna, FM trap, amp and low loss coax.

That FM trap must be the only reason why my bigger antennas didn't work, I thought an antenna was an antenna just stick it up in the air and that's it.

People devote their entire lives to the study of antennas and transmission lines. Like any other science, there is nothing simple about it.
