Re: how to get local tv cheaply
You can get a pair of rabbit ears for next to nothing, but if you can't afford nothing, you can always just "ghetto engineer" an antenna out of wire hangars and tin foil

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
Even with a nigger rigged Aluminum foil/coat hanger antenna you should be able to receive something.

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
i get 8 channels with my rabbit ears, but one of them is just christian shit all the time :(
btw, maybe this was discussed but as of february 2009, i believe you will need to come up with about $50 or so for a digital converter box, or you will not get your channel. all tv must be digital by february. you will be able to get a $40 coupon for a digital converter box but there are rules for it.

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
well i have satellite internet, which limits me to 300 megs a day. using torrents/streaming (combined with the other users in my home) would put me dangerously close. plus i want to watch the local 10 o clock news the old fashioned way.

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
If you really dont wanna pay shit, they tend to have these a lot at The Good Will, and Salvation Army type of places. Low security there too, cus I mean they dont really expect people to steal from these places, steal one from there.

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
Many TVs have antennas built into them. Try this, get some coax cable, plug one end into the TV and touch the other end to some kind of metal. This actually works and we used this method for some time and picked up a few channels. If it works for you just tape it to a pop can or hanger and nail it up on the wall

Re: how to get local tv cheaply
Damn I love these new digital channels here. a fucking 15cm piece of normal multi strand electrical wire has superb reception with my box 92% signal quality and 60% power.
I have also used a larhe wariety of coathanger/copper wire nigger rigged antennas whem no proper one was available.
I'm atm using a omnidirectional antenna of my own design, 96% quality and 70% power, fuck yeah.
