Another TV Gimmick
We're always looking for a way to get away from high cable TV fees. Last night we saw a commercial for Free TV Key. It seems to just be a compact antenna you connect to the cable plug on the back of your TV. Then you can watch broadcast stations- those being sent out like radio waves- for free.
It was only $19 and change to get one, although they don't advertise they charge $7.99 for shipping and handling. Still, a cheap enough experiment so I ordered one.
We can plug it in, try it for a week and see how we like it. My one concern is whether MeTV and BBC are available on broadcast or just cable. Clear TV says they can't provide cable only channels.
We'll see how this works. If it's good enough, it could save us a bunch of money each month.

all tv signals are digital now and if you dont have digital tv then you will need digital converter
We have digital TV and didn't buy it all that long ago. I'm wondering about what channels aren't being broadcast? Some channels only go out on cable. We shall see.
all my brother can get on antenna on F street is 3 channels . he tried that awhile when he first went to dish tv
Thanks. It looks like I'd get "All Channels", although I don't see a list of them. We'll give this a try and see how it works. If I'm not satisfied, I can always hook the cable back up.
