Wait a sec , are you saying i can still use the existing 50 or 60 ft tower we have at the country house & get more channels ?

We have The motor still in place on the tower & the old Rotor box that spun the old antenna round is in the barn somewhere , is the long range deal your talking about something like that where i could bolt the new gear atop the tower & get more channels ? If so do you have any info where i could buy the gear ? It sounds exciting that i could possibly make use of the tower .

Yeas sir. Hey even c band and Ku band satalite are free. Now you only need a 36 in dish to pick them up instead of the old 12 ft.


Set your tower back up. We got the 16 or 20 ft antenna at radio shack. I think you can get motors there to. They may have to order it.

Yup , my thoughts exactly , we've had cable & satalite for so many yrs & are used to having over 200 channels , 99% of which are worthless to me , even on cable pbs is where we get all our news from , the history channel is now a joke filled with reality tv ( brain dead tv ) , the only channel i think we'd miss by cutting cable off would be the Military Channel , the wife & I are both ww2 nutts & love the shows on Military Channel .

We also get the show Mash & Chuck connors The Rifleman via antenna , no fancy CGI just good writing & family programming .

Were probably gonna end up dropping cable & saving $180 a month at our city home & saving $120 a month for satalite at our summer place , we pay just over $300 a month for television & there's never anything interesting on other than pbs & military , we get 3 free pbs stations , i think were gonna end up like you where we drop paid tv all together .

I cant believe how much more interesting television is with the ME stations , i have no desire to flick channels & whats best is the commercials , right now finishing watching Hawaii 5 0 & there was only 4 commercials thru the whole show , Bah Bah Black Sheep is comming up next & then Columbo & after that the Lenord Nimoy Marathon all night , im starting to enjoy tv in a way i havent in 15 yrs .

Anybody who has not checked into their free tv signal really should , its not like the old days with fuzzy picture & rabbit ears with aluminium foil , picture quality & programming are top notch , members in their late 40's & up will really like the programming , there's even a channel for geezers like me who are over 60 where they play all the old Holloywood icons movies round the clock like Turner classic tv .

to be honest ... i don't have a cable due to the simple fact that i do so much stuff outside my house that i don't have time to watch ... after my ass show up in the office to check on my people and run thru meetings i go at the gym after that and after that , i come back home and work with my plants :weed: , and when i'm done it's late in the day and anything i wanna watch ... i'm watching online for free to be honest ... and that is how my day is going by :mrgreen:... plus another month and winter is going to be over so i would do a lot of trips so in my mind i don't like to pay for stuff that i won't use it :mrgreen:... i had cable previously, but i barely watch it , and the reality shows u r wright they r brain dead tv :mrgreen: HBO running the same movies over and over again ... but like i said there is few shows i like to watch and all of them u can find online for free ...:mrgreen:

I can remember having to pay the cable bro $50 for all the paper view channels, and then he would hook you up with a "black box". That's when all my friends started being way nicer to me, and my couch was always the wave to surf.

It would be an honor to be the guy on your couch.

.........and rats or was that palm trees? What is up with women today that think Palm Trees are a hair style? Do you just suddenly wake up with the brilliant idea to pile all your hair on top of your head and safety wire it there?
