Examining Cutting the Cable TV Cord
Things I’ve learned:
- There is no signal to be had from a FiOS coax cable without a cable box.
- I can pick up a few stations in the basement with an old set of Radio Shack rabbit ears, but they pixelate too badly to watch.
- Kids quickly learn to stay in one spot so the TV signal stays good.
- There are 34 over-the-air channels I can get with our old attic antenna.
- I’ve got a lot of wires in my basement ceiling that don’t go anywhere.
- One of those stations is analog.
- Analog has apparently not been banished.
- My youngest daughter acts like a crack addict when a new TV is brought into the house.
