I have a digital antenna on my roof and I’ve heard that you can get inexpensive very good indoor digital antennas.
How many different cable channels do you use.

I would imagine you can get sports channels, etc. too. check out <https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.disablemycable.com&d=DwIFaQ&c=OAG1LQNACBDguGvBeNj18Swhr9TMTjS-x4O_KuapPgY&r=F2GFXrjLFqVo3VwvIlo_XYeEiRRjHv15rxcenz7A21woG2aFGcrzndoSsskxfmOs&m=hSrn5T4tJkepVU-e0VDPWU62mad_Zn1Bz2eE1rspBV4&s=oI88AlbeUfA3oXogEGtgcIWxV9LxupfmvAsxznbPnTk&e= > Harry > On Jun 11, 2019, at 3:49 PM, Bill Rising <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all, > > This is only tangentially computer-related, because it has to do with > internet services.
