Hello everyone : I just thought it would be nice to share my story with all of you . I've been watching TV since the late 40s . Rabbit ears, Rabbit ears with tin foil , Roof antennas, Cable boxes, Direct TV , Dishnet, FTA boxes, you name it I've had it . Most recently I switched to HD sets and enjoyed a basic cable setup @ $ 19.95 a month . However they got greedy , didn't appreciate the idea that HDTV sets were able to receive 150 + channels with only a basic connection so they threw out blockers . I decided to experiment . I went in the attic , disconnected my Comcast cable and connected an old set of Rabbit ears from the 70s. Low and behold , I'm enjoying 35 locals channels within a 75 mile radius on all 5 sets . All crystal clear HD reception . Needless to say goodbye Comcast and yes goodbye ESPN, CNBC, FOX NEWS , but we are getting use to the local shows and certainly enjoying the after tax savings of $ the $ 276 yearly cable bill . In addition , I'm pointing my old dish towards 61.5 where my neighbor is enjoying CNBC, FOX, and ESPN free to air . I'll let you know the results .
