Peachtree City, GA | Subscription TV Several years ago I purchased a chain link fence top rail (20' in length) and installed a rotor positioned HD antenna. Total cost = $150.00 which is just over one month's U-verse payment.
From Peachtree City, GA (20-25 miles south of Atlanta's HD transmitting antennas), I receive 20 to 25 Hi Def signals from surrounding (Atlanta, Macon, and Columbus) markets including all the major networks plus several independent networks. There is also a boatload of religious channels in which I have no interest but which you pay for in a cable TV payment.
The picture quality on my Hi Def televisions is so much better than AT&T U-verse (which I also have) and Comcast (which I had before U-verse).
My problem is convincing my wife to cut-the-cord. It's the second tier and third tier networks that she watches the most and would lose.
These are the networks that I would like to receive over the internet, even in a subscription format. |

| My wife and I cut the cord several years ago. We now find better things to do than sit around watching TV and getting fat. She does more reading than ever, our public libraries are full of interesting movies and TV series on DVD and I now do more work on computers and watch over-the-air HD when things get slow. |

Every one of the things you do instead of watching TV involves sitting around.
