I signed off cable when I lived in downtown Burlington. I bought a $50
antennae (see link below) which received NBC well, CBS & FOX ok, no ABC
and most of the PBS stations. When I moved to the new north end, I got
nothing - very few cell phones work here either - some kind of black
hole I live in now.
Here is the attenae I have. I would be more than happy to let you borrow
it and give it a try.

The end result - after being weened, I don't really miss TV at all.

Hi folks,
Sorry for posting off-topic, but I'd like to talk TV antennae: I'm looking to
go over-the-air for all non-Internet TV at home, and want to know if 1) you
have personal experience with OTA digital TV, and/or 2) if you have a favorite
TV shop (a what? an anachronism?) containing the requisite gruff character out
back with whom I can have a hacker-to-hacker talk free of marketing hype.
Yes, I could read the Internet for this. I read the Internet all day for work;
this is for the off-hours. Also, the Internet seems to be populated by people
trying to sell me things. (Have I mentioned my distaste for marketing hype?)
I'm looking for someone who's in it for the love of electromagnetic radiation.
;-)
So: Who's my new TV-hacker buddy? Please reply off-list.
Cheers,
- -sth
