    The antenna on top of the tv are called rabbit ears. If you live in close proximity to the tv stations it is all you need to receiver the signal. Back in the days when tv was free all you needed was a good antenna. Of course that was when there was only NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS stations in this country.

    TV is still free. JRA and I are certain of it. That's why we have "rabbit ears". I can receive 11 stations off the air. If I count the extras such as the three the local NBC affiliate has the total rises to around 30.

    Nice to know there are still others who keepz it realz.....
    Honestly, I'm just broke and prefer to spend my disposable income on music and gear. $60+/month on useless programs?
    But I do wish I had the Discovery, TV Land, CNN, FX, and Speed channels. I wouldn't pay more than $20 a month though...

    Just Speed and Discovery would work for me. I've got CNN breaking news on my PC.
