I understand you have to have a digital converter box now to watch "free" TV.
How does that work?
Do I need an outside antenna like in the old days when you had this twenty-foot monstrosity in your yard?
I live in an area where most of the TV stations are 50+ miles away and I had really poor reception before cable and satellite.
I have the option of a microwave internet service which I used to use, but now bundle with my cable service.
Will I have good quality reception with the "free TV" digital converter box?
Which one is best?
Or do I just live in a world where TV choices suck and that's all there is to it?
I know I don't know enough even to ask the right questions, hence the thread title.
I haven’t had cable in 20 years. I have not regretted it one bit and I think my kids are better for it. If I want to watch a movie I just get the dvd and all my news online.
