I've officially severed the financial leach known as cable/satellite television. I'm certain I'm preaching to the choir in saying that I don't need 300 channels when I only watch a handful. Especially at that price.
As far as the major network channels go, I can pick those up thanks to a relay station near Hood River which supplies the same, high definition results being broadcast in Portland. I stuck a tiny little antenna on the wall behind the tv (yes, indoors) and bam! HD local TV.
The antenna's cheap, pins to the wall with only a pushpin, it's razor thin, has two different colored sides to match the room, and an ultra-thin coaxial cable to plug it in. I like to consider myself fairly tech savvy but I had no idea something this small could work so well. I was blown away by the image quality this little guy provided. Apparently it's all in the design. There's a link on the right side of this page to the MOHU HD antenna. Check it out and get your own. For the other stuff above and beyond basic channels, I've had the pleasure of using Roku. I'll save my review of that little gem for the next post.
