DisSo we're finally moving to drop cable, even though we'll lose our epic channel bundle. Yesterday I paired an hdhomerun with an attic antenna, and now PBS is teaching me to make manischewitz and doing terrible raps about Siracha. I got super lucky and it was almost perfectly aimed on the first pass. (I may have to tweak it for NBC eventually but everything else I expected is working.)
This reminds me of the early Tivo days, when I would find it watching PBS on the weekends. Our electronic monk would record "BBQ University" and still be watching when I got up, so I'd sit down with my coffee and join it.
Once we get the broadcast tuned in, its time to upgrade the downloader arm with some usenet. I might also grab a directional antenna to add Baltimore stations for football season.
(The channel bundle has been evolving since before Verizon figured out this whole cable thing. Tons of freebies, and I think we get 20 channels that aren't even on the modern plans. The thing is, 400 unwatched channels is just as useful as 0 unwatched channels. Why are we paying for them again?)
