free antenna TV is available and better than ever. i receive 81 channels from the orlando/melbourne/
daytonabeach antenna farm with a homemade antenna, about 45 miles away. i canceled cable in 1993
because of shitty customer service and outrageous fees and have used an antenna ever since. back
then you needed an antenna rotator, but not today. todays antenna digital tv is better than the
resolution of many ofthe cable hd channels (1080i). there are lots of advertisements, and some are
religious channels & spanish only channels, but all in all i love the fact that i haven't given any cable
company any money in decades. not many documentaries, which is why i hang out here, many thanks
to all the posters here
there are many websites where you can put your zipcode in see if or what channels are available in
your area and where to point an antenna
