Well, it might, if one is hooked up with cable or dish service.
However, I ditched TV service several months ago, when I thought my TV had died. Turned out, that after I pulled the Charter cable box off the TV and returned it, the TV worked just fine! Seems that the Charter box itself had gone bad. No problem; have an OTA antenna for the local channels, and a Roku box with which to stream, and I'm fine without paying the huge monthly bill for TV service -- I watch little to no TV as it is, so it was a good thing. Just the internet now, and I'm happy with that; LOTS less money every month!
BTW, I
love Aunty Acid!
