Free! FREE!


For the last 6 years we've only been able to watch our local stations via a giant antenna in the attic. We live too far out in the country to get cable. But we dropped our satelite subscription last year because we found we were only watching the broadcast stations anyway. However, the clarity of those stations has been grainy.

This morning we had an HDTV digital receiver put on our big screen TV and we now get all the local digital feeds FREE!

We've got 6 channels of PBS! 3 channels of NBC! HDTV Olympic coverage!

Forget paying $35/month to Direct TV- we've got it all from our antenna on the roof combined with a set top box HDTV receiver. The antenna pulls down the digital signal that the local stations broadcast and then the receiver converts it to high definition. I'm doing flips here.

Fisherville Academy is on vacation this week while we rot our brains with wall to wall coverage of the Winter Olympics! WAHOOO!!!!
