Alternatives to Cable and Sattelite
 
I'm pretty sure I know the answer to this, but besides Cable and satellite tv are there any other options for reception? I doubt I can get rabbit ears to pick up anything.

I'm beyond pissed at Cox, but my apartment doesn't face the correct direction to put up a dish.

Blah.

Reading, biking, DVDs, humanitary work, sex, picking fights with the neighbors...

BarTopDancer 10-10-2008 09:04 AM

Haha. I meant TV wise.

Can you get Verizon FiOS in your area?

BarTopDancer 10-10-2008 09:13 AM

Nope :(

I think Cox has a strangle hold on the area.

It won't replace cable exactly, but one of the digital set top boxes should help you pull in the brodacast stations.

I have an HD version paired with a cheap antenna from Radio Shack that feeds into my main screen for PIP (and just in case the cable goes down....)

AT&T U-Verse is TV-over-IP.

Dude, you haven't seen the latest about AT&T, have you?

No FIOS, no uVerse. Looks like it's Cox or nothing. Antenna's won't reach within my building :(

You might want to check that (if you have not already). The Digital broadcasts do much better than the old analog broadcasts.

Antanna Web can help you pick one.
