Imagine that...greed making people go back to something that is free with better quality.
Proud to be OTA and cord free.

I hooked up my neighbors air TV antenna for him and set up the TV to antenna. He gets three channels, ABC, comet and grit.
Here in Lafayette, the channel list is suppose to be 13 channels. I think it his HDTV that won't pick up the rest of the .digit channels.
I think he needs a digital converter box to get the remaining channels.
See?

What do u guys think? He needs a digital converter box?
Been using a Channel Master DVR+ for a couple of years now and will never pay for cable TV again. LA basin has a lot of local stations,

I haven't had cable since... at least 2007. I've been Ota and streaming. No regrets. I actually prefer sports Ota as they are not compressed as bad as cable/satellite
That web site was very helpful to me when I was figuring out what kind of antennas to buy. I bought the longer range ones - partially because I installed the devices in my attic. If I put it on the outside of the house, I'd get a lot more signal quality! The roof blocks a lot of signal. This sight also gives you a good idea which way to aim the antennas - I'm using two: one is VHF, the other UHF. The transmitters are probably 35 degrees away from each other.
If it's that or only having a few channels, we pay for the extra channels even though we have to watch commercials. Last time I tried to go OTA, all I could get were the cbs and nbc networks and sub channels, (no fox or abc), and a few local independents. So far, Verizen tv (internet, too, though the phone service wasn't up to par for what they charged) has worked flawlessly now for 6 years. That makes it an easy choice.I never understood anyone PAYING to watch commercials... skippable or not...
Found this site for an OTA tv channel guide, just plug in your zip code:but I really like going back to watching "whatever is on" without having to work at finding programming.

Contract is up in 6 months and I will definitely be going back to OTA. What's messed up to me is that to get the speeds I wanted (interwebs wise) it was cheaper to buy the bundle with cable than just Internet. Pisses me off but that is the nature of the beast. Not doing it again though. Already have the antenna and have tested it. 30 solid channels...bye Felicia!

. If I didn't life in the sticks I'd buy an antenna and step up to OTA broadcasting, specially for big sports events.
You are right, but in our case it's a problem of distance and mountains.Even the sticks can get reception from 100 miles away if you are willing to put up the antenna.
Still paying the man. Really the only reason we keep it is for Disney now.

It might be slightly more complicated if you need your kids to be able to turn it on themselves though, although maybe not considering how bad the UI/input is on a lot of cable services.
Yeah, I looked at that. End of the day, I'm paying 45 for Sling or 55 for satellite, and satellite had free receivers, dvr, 4k channels, etc. Once my price per month goes back up to $100, it's harder choice. I really want a la carte pricing...
hi-v frequency OTA antenna problem.
I am stumped about this. I ordered a 25 mile indoor OTA digital HD UHF-VHF antenna and a digital converter box. Both good brands. Hooked them up, plunged the antenna to the window on "i
live on 2nd floor, window pointing west".
The digital OTA antenna does not detect WLFI, I hooked up an old RCA rabbit ear dial click UHF-VHF rabbit ear loop antenna, this rca detects WLFI on my digital converter box but is distorted.
I have 2 neighbors with digital antennas, one on second floor next to me on east end of building and another neighbor on the main floor on the west end of the building. Guy on main
floor gets grit tv from indy go fig but none of us can detect WLFI station with these digital antenna's. You guys are 15 miles from us. Guy on main floor has a 60 mile range indoor
antenna, guy next to me has a 50 mile range antenna and I have a 25 mile range antenna.
I live "we" in an apt house.
Please contact me. Why is this a problem?
I use my antenna for local news and stuff, some decent channels too like Fox. Fuck paying an extra $100/month on top of my internet.
Ads and higher cost of internet data usage...just like getting taxed for using certain websites/data...which is bullshit.And the only reason this number is so low is cable companies are packaging TV & internet for cheaper than just internet so they can artificially inflate the number of subscribers.... If they stopped that nonsense, the number of subscribers would drop stupid fast and their ad revenue and content package pricing would plummet..... It's only a matter of time before they can no longer keep relying on their outdated bullshit business model and catch up with the times. But they are going to take a big hit initially since they no longer have the stranglehold on content they had 10+ years ago when TV was your only choice for content and they could stuff ads down your throat.
What's fucked up is the digital antenna will not detect Lafayette, Indiana WLFI 18.1-18.2.
But this detects WLFI 18.1-18.2. But is all blocky and distorted, but I am sure if I moved to the window it would clear up.
WLFI tower is 15 miles from me. And runs on a frequency called hi-v.
