I get about 40 free channels the old fashion way with an antenna. Told DirectTV to go away years ago. Who wants to pay for all those commercials?

BTW I am 50 and 80 miles from most of the big city tv transmitters.

What antenna and mounting height do you use?

” Who wants to pay for all those commercials? “

I’m old enough to remember back in the 70’s when the first experimental Cable TV systems were coming on line - back then, the big selling-point was that, since you paid for programming up-front, there would be no commercials....

We’ve come a long way, Baby..... ;)

I’d like to know too...what kind of antenna?

We ditched our cable and are only on airwaves now as well—we’re right outside of Philly but our reception is not that great. When I was a kid I used to be able to pull in a couple of NYC channels.

I live in a rural town and can only pick up 2-3 digital TV broadcast channels. Many area broadcast stations have reduced their signal strength as more cable/satellite sources became available.
