Try an antenna. Since everyone went digital, there’s no such thing as a fuzzy picture. You either get it in crystal clear digital, or you don’t.

FOX is trying to position the situation as the cable companies not wanting to pay their fair share. But they’re asking for $1 per subscriber.

The signal’s out there absolutely free - go get it.

It may not be free for long. Now that the signals are all digital, making them subscriber services only involves adding a set top box to your TV set. When a digital signal is encoded and you don’t have the correct decoding software, you don’t see anything.

The FCC would have to approve the change, but it could happen.

Yep, I’ll be trying the old rabbit ears in a few days if they don’t come to an agreement; we’ll see how that works.
