Did you know you can still buy rabbit ears for your TV? My last scan through our airwaves with a $12 RCA antenna got me 33 channels to choose from. It out-performed my rooftop antenna and/or its old cabling. I think that’s more channels than used to be available on basic cable.
These listings are as-observed from my location. Your reception may vary. Getting Channel 26 required some micro-adjustment of antenna.
Given an Internet connection and an antenna, will cable maintain its relevance? Cable’s value proposition is dwindling as other programming options increase and the population ages.
