The wealthy stay wealthy by acting poor, the poor stay poor by acting wealthy. If I hadn't been a cheapskate all my life I wouldn't be in the position I am now.

I don't have any pictures and I wont be back there for several weeks. The install wasn't difficult but it is warm up there and it takes some time and effort. I would say it was 3 or 4 hours total for an accomplished shade tree tinkerer. I'm sure a pro could knock it out in an hour and a half.

“Next Gen TV’ will allow broadcasters to track and collect data on consumers through their TVs and other connected devices, much like Google and Facebook“ These are over the air digital TV signals that allows the transmitter to know who is receiving each signal.

Hi I am near Lake Deaton plaza and get about 65 channels some are repeats and one channel is with about 12 sub channels which are mostly bs programs. As for NextGen TV you need to have a ASTC 3.0 tuner whether built into the tv or add on. Problem is there are not a lot available. The other issue is the tv station are encrypting the signal so you need a tuner that will un encrypts the signal A good source of info for Ota tv NextGen etc. is The Antenna Man. He is very knowledgeable and many you tube videos explaining many topics

The cable is the larger size (thicker jacket) so you need to buy the larger of the 2 sizes of coax ends. Here is how mine turned out after I terminated and labeled them. Last edited by LeRoySmith; 03-14-2024 at 09:00 AM. |

Wow!!!
Free 4k tv with an antenna and a 4k television less than 10 years old! Is this the death of ATSC 3.0? Watch the video below. The youtube video is somewhat technical but you don’t need to be to watch the FREE 4k television stations when available. https://youtu.be/e_94q9TCCDY?si=IZt0rtOyFlTBgqvr Last edited by MikeVillages; 03-15-2024 at 05:14 AM. |

In 1948 TV came to Boston on 2 channels and I started watching. I continue to watch free tv in the villages.
My system consists of an outside antenna and a TiVo box with a lifetime TiVo subscription. I have setup my TiVo to record only new showings of shows on network tv. So I have all new releases of Law and Order etc. waiting for me to watch with commercials skipped by TiVo. The total cost to me is $30 per month for Verizon internet service. I can eliminate that cost by using my phone as a hot spot twice a month but I want fast internet. Florida is a great state for free TV. There are no mountains and few valleys to interfere with reception of the signals. |

I receive all the channels in post 27 and more... Pine Hills. Roof antenna. Used Mike Advanced Satellite & Antenna Service ASK for JimBo to install: (352) 694-7877. He installed my very old/used $5 Clear Stream antenna Model #C2MVB last summer for about $250. I use all 3 TiVo OTA Bolt, Roamio and Premiere models and an A93 mini. I have a powered 15 gain amp and a powered MoCa compliant 8 port distribution block. (MoCa compatibility allows me to sent internet over my existing coax outlets at 2.5 Gbps - compatible with OTA TV signal.)
I also use Plex. Last edited by Sparky99; 03-18-2024 at 07:07 AM. |
