A lot of good people limit themselves to short wave radio.
I have an HDTV. One day I went and bought an HDTV antenna from Home Depot. Cost like $30. I got TV reception pretty good, like 36 channels, over-the-air. One day a windstorm came along and parted the cable from the antenna. I didn’t notice the difference. Right now all I have is a stub of wire hanging out from the eves. I pick up stations from Seattle and the surrounding area just fine. Thirty six channels total. Either way. I have several shortwave radios; a Hallicrafters S-40B and an S-38C. Good international radio there. Several folks up here have SW radios too. I listen to a lot of stations on streaming audio from my computer as well. We have DSL up here in the mountains. So I guess it’s all what you want in entertainments. Great fun! Oh BTW, I get Amazon video on demand so I don’t use Netflix. You pay for what you want rather than shelling out bucks per month regardless.
