Sorry

Radio Shack went bust.

And before you ask:

No

You can’t go there and test your vacuum tubes.

There are still 70 Radio Shack stores open and you can also buy online:

Not saying it’s the best place to go.

Radio Shack went bust

And when they did, they took down one of their antenna suppliers. Omni-state made the best uhf/vhf TV antenna exclusively for Radio Shack or Tandy...I forget which one. These are external, mast mounted and look like a ufo. There are several manufacturers of similar looking antennas, but they don't receive nearly as well. I have three. One at my business, one at home and one at my mother-in-law's house. I live in the center of Florida and receive about 90 channels. Half are high def and half of those are in English. The broadcast signals are not compressed like cable and satellite so the picture actually looks better on my hd TV's. The secondary channels are not 1080p but 720 or 480. Still not bad. They used to sell for about $200 but I can't even find used ones on Craigslist anymore. I cut the cable a decade ago and have saved about $20,000 when you add three location's bills. Starve the beast, don't feed the media your hard earned dollars. They hate American values.
