(Yay!!) I had limited basic for locals. Hooked up a clearstream 1 in the windowsill (outside with a preamp) and inside using rabbit ears for the vhf hi channels amplified. Not the strongest signals, but definitely strong enough to keep picture from pixelating hardly at all. Changed internet providers as Comcast couldn't compete with prices. Slower speed, but enough to stream and do what I want for a lot cheaper. I'm thrilled. Took me months to find the sweet spots. No more cable tv bills!! Saving over 300.00 per year. Saw on tv last night where a lot more people plan to drop cable by 2017. I'm excited!! Just had to post!!:-)

What stations do you get now? I know you we're getting the big four stations because they're all on VHF. What main channels did you gain on UHF?
(channel numbers or call signs are ok. you don't need to list every subchannel you get to) :)

Do have any way of recording the programs now?

Andyhorton,
Congratulations, you are now one of the free and few that actually get TV the old fashioned way, with an antenna. My advice is to try different antennas until you are satisfied completely with your reception. There is plenty on TV these days and it's nice to see local commercials by area merchants too. Have fun.

WKSY has 5 subnets. Retro Tv, 2 religious, a local "info" station if you will, and 1 religious audio only. I like Retro TV. Not as good as Antenna TV or METV, but still I like it and I stream AMG TV on Roku. I like it sometimes, too.

I just cut the cord and got a ChannelMaster DVR -- it records OTA channels great.

Who says dinner or lunch has to be the only good meals of the day?

Honey butter grits with scrambled eggs and grilled boneless pork ribs on flakey biscuits washed down with cranberry juice.

I like the Jimmy Fallon channel. This will be its third year. I like that it's all fresh each year. Also fun when he pops on live from time to time.

Terrible tragedy. You would think that they would have safe guards in place that would prevent something like this from happening. I guess if you are going to ride in a passenger train it might be best to get a car near the rear.

They will have to look at the switching sections to determine WHY 2 trains were on the same track ... at the same time.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....
