Quoted from DeeGor:

Usenet runs about $7/mo, and you can pretty much find everything on there. Stream to all your TVs / devices using plex.

Rule number 1 about usenet

Quoted from vid1900:

Higher the better, but at least higher than the garage roof, so you have a clear shot at the where the towers are.
A great antenna that goes on sale all the time for $50, is the Channel Master CM-4228
Super lightweight, almost invisible, and of course guys have made tons of mods to it already.[quoted image]

i have considered an outdoor antenna for years but then have to install it and ground it properly. Seems like way too much work for me to do myself...

Quoted from vid1900:

If you can fix a pinball machine, you can certainly install an antenna.
They don't weigh anything.
You ground it to the grounding rod abandoned from the old phone service, or the grounding rods from the electrical panel.
Once you ground it, your chimney will never get hit by lightning, as all the static is constantly dissipated to ground.[quoted image]

Was unsure if I was allowed to tap into the same grounding as the electrical panel. Also that is on the opposite end of the house from where I wanted to install the antenna, getting it up on that side will require about a 60 foot ladder...
