Not sure what I'm trying to ask here. I just don't want to pay a lot for cable and am considering just having that darned TV OFF!

If anyone has any suggestions for cheap TV viewing feel free to add...

I'm not well versed on all this new fangled stuff like Roku, fire stick, smart TV, etc.

Getting a good antenna might be the way to go but from what I've read here you have to get a "booster" or "amp"? I'm so confused...
Not recently, but I did know a British couple about 15 years ago who lived in a town near the one back in Minnesota that I called home, who opted to ditch their TV because in their opinion American TV was stupidity-inducing (or words to that effect).

Judging from the events occurring since they made that decision, I'd say they were absolutely correct.
