Cut The Cord with 'Antenna Man'

[Desert Whaler]

Thanks to the folks here that lead me to search for a good antenna in a prior post.
I came across the 'Antenna Man' on You Tube . . . .dude has a TON of good informative vids for those contemplating cutting cable, and everything related.
He has a website as well.

Here's a great vid link that summarizes his thoughts on cable and satellite and how streaming services are getting just as expensive.

His rant towards the end is MONEY . . . his 'Twilight Zone' impersonation is classic . . .
Enjoy

There is so much great content on YouTube you wont miss it. And NO ads.

Streaming services problem is each has their own channels to get them all you need multiples

 

[ElAzul]

Plex, Tubi, Pluto, IMDB and tons of other free apps with surprisingly good content for streaming. We even ditched Netflix and Discovery this month don't really miss it either

Nope. I use uBlock Origin on firefox, laptop is permanently attached to the TV.

Funny how people cut the cord only to pay for Netflix,Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Apple TV plus etc... It sounds great in theory tho. I tried to cut the cord a couple of years ago and bought an antenna, the only channel I received was a latin channel, don't get me wrong it was entertaining.

Bummer!

I don't have cable at the river and I cut my cable at my pad in LA about 4 or 5 years ago. I just need internet I pay $5.99 for the basic Hulu service. My wife has Netflix. I use my Prime Video. I have a $100 Antenna in my attic that gets free channels. No complaints here!

I'm lookiing forward to seeing how this all works-out . . . my mail carrier is a super cool dude & if I'm in the garage he stops on his route for a coldie & we shoot the $hit . . . he was saying that he gets at least 40 channels over the air & they all come in killer . . . he backs it up with free streaming stuff & he's happy.
I ordered what I think is going to be a good directional roof mounted antenna, & I also bought the good RG6 Quad-Shielded Coax Cable which is supposed to make a big difference. We'll see . . . either way, I'm OVER $260/month for $hit-Box Commercials w/ a splash of TV mixed-in.

The Weather report is my favorite part.

I've had one of the old fashioned antennas in the attic for years.
Set it on the rafters and pointed it in direction of towers
Some channels fade in and out but I just rescanned and got 41 channels
Your dad will enjoy some of the old programs and of course Grit.
I got this one for our home in Williams AZ and put it outside
Surprised we got 16 channels in the middle of nowhere

Robot or human?

I cut the chord 5 years ago... never looked back. We use Netflix and Hulu. Amazon prime video is free with amazon prime (free is arguable here). We have an Antenna that picks up all the major networks. Big Bonus is that all that stuff works for one price at multiple locations and homes, heck I can use it on my boat by downloading content and screen sharing.

Whenever I end up at a hotel or vrbo with traditional cable/satellite I find it un watchable,.... even DVR with fast forward feels so 2010!.

Antenna man is spot on, now I just need to find a cell phone man.
