What’s not to like? Free TV, better choice of programs.

The old joke “200 channels and nothing is on” is truer than ever.

There are a couple of channels that show old shows that I really don’t want to let go, through.

[BipolarBob]

On a Black and White Zenith television?

[Army Air Corps]

There are a helluva lot of channels available over the air now.

[JerryBlackwell]

Nothing worth watching on broadcast TV.

[chrisser]

We didn’t have to cut the cord. No cable here in the sticks.

Looked at satellite TV. Would consider if it was a la carte. Otherwise, no sale.

We have double-R service. Rabbit ears and Roku.

The variety of digital broadcast even in mid-sized cities is really surprising. If you haven’t scanned to see what’s out there in a few years give it a try. There are a good thirty of them here, all manner of programming. Classic sitcoms and old movies predominate.

I have always had over the air broadcasts. I am looking to replace my ancient and damaged old outside antenna.

Reading up on them I was surprised to learn that if you get a strong signal, quality will often be better than cable or satellite.

[ifinnegan]

And when it went digital there became a lot more channels.

I dumped cable in 1994.

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

With the coming of Starlink space-based gigabit Internet in 2020, we could see an explosion of streaming channels for people "out in the sticks." No wonder why all the major cable channel providers are seriously looking at offering streaming packages from 2020 on--Disney's Disney Plus service is only the beginning.

Cable forces us to pay for channels we don’t use, nor want. Most everything on cable is bias opposite to what my personal perspectives are. They cram more commercials it seems than does free over the air TV into every program. It’s just not worth it for what is being broadcast on cable. No more.

It’s truly sad when one has to choose ones entertainment by political perspectives. Damn shame.

FREE!.....................................

[Sirius Lee]

It will go up even more once nutfux raises it’s monthly fee and people drop the obama channel.

[jonrick46]

Any recommendations for off-air antennas that have long distance coverage?

In a phrase;

We LIKED it back then and would like to brainwash our kids the same way WE were ...

We've made some bad choices, but we ain't evil, nor are we enemies of America.

We may not love Jesus, but we would never disrespect anyone that does.

There's a whole LOT of conditioning that TV was responsable for and we would like to have a shot at getting back there.

in my humble opinion.

[Shark24]

Have not had cable since 2003 or so. Have over the air in Los Angeles with just two Clear Stream antennas. My wife is happy so I am happy. “just” internet handles the rest.

[apoliticalone]

But who is going to subsidize ESPN,the NFL,NBA etc and their mostly uber rich taxpayer subsidized owners and overpaid players?
