Reply #73: It was worse with the converter box & the old t.v. but once we bought a new flat screen

[earth mom]

and a $40 antenna we get great reception and more channels- 2 ABC channels, 1 CBS channel, 1 NBC channel, 1 local channel, CW channel, 4 PBS channels and Fox.

We haven't had cable for years and if there are any shows our family wants to watch, we watch them on the internet or get them from Netflix or the Library. We've bought a few t.v. shows on itunes, but it's rare because we can get everything we want to watch for free or at low cost.

Whenever I've watched cable t.v. when we stay at a hotel or wherever, I am completely turned off by the amount of commercials and also by the extreme right wing slant of all the news channels which seems glaringly like brainwashing and mind control. :yoiks:
