Many of us have cable or satellite TV. I have basic cable because it is provided by the apartment complex. Although limited. I have an Internet connection through the cable service. I do not have the premium channels. The channels I watch on this are the History Channel, Turner Classic Movies, FX, SyFy and AMC. Not much else.
At a yard sale last fall I found a digital TV antennae for $5. So I got it. So now it seems that I watch the majority of TV from over the air broadcast. Although there are more channels in the area I get about 14. I have 3 more movie channels. Public channels that the cable does not carry. And a station that plays the old TV shows I grew up with. Pretty cool.
The downside is that the reception can be fickle at times. When I do a channel search some days I get different channels then others. But for the most part it is worth it.
You may not find an antennae for $5. But for about $40 or $50 you can find a nice one. I live about 50 miles out of Tampa. If you live closer to town you will get a lot more channels with a $10 antennae.
Give it a whirl!
