For BB ...
[S]ome consumers are spending thousands of dollars on LCD or plasma TVs and hooking them up to $50 antennas that don't look much different from what grandpa had on top of his black-and-white picture tube.
They're not doing it for the nostalgia.
Local TV channels, broadcast in HD over-the-air, offer superior picture quality over the often-compressed signals sent by cable and satellite TV companies.
And the best part? Over-the-air HD is free.
I offered to climb on the roof and dismantle our ancient antenna, a relic from bygone days (and it looks it). BB said if I do, he might just have me replace it with another one. I didn't understand until I read this. Everything old is new again ...
sigh. Where I live I get no signal from any station without cable or satellite. Rabbit ears would be worthless...
