There’s no question it’s a bona fide phenomenon… but there’s a lot of question about how big that phenomenon is. I’m talking about cord-cutting, the trend of getting rid of your cable bill and getting all…
When it comes to TV antennas, don’t you wish they made them like they used to? They do, but “they” isn’t who you think it is. Wouldn’t it be nice if, decades from now, your kids…
In his iconic Hollywood vs. America, author Michael Medved argued that the entertainment industry’s addiction to sex and violence would eventually destroy it because the values espoused in movies were increasingly not those of regular folks. Movies…
Savvy cord-cutters have figured out that if you don’t have an antenna, you’re missing out on a lot. Streaming services like Playstation Vue, Sling TV and even Hulu’s rumored upcoming service aren’t going to give you…
Yes, but they’re getting hard to find. DIRECTV’s AM21 over-the-air tuner module has provided DIRECTV DVRs and receivers with the ability to pull in signals using an antenna since 2009. While it looks gargantuan today, it was…

BOSTON – A bitter split between NBC and WHDHTV is expected to happen at the end of the year. This leaves many Boston cord-cutters unsure of whether they’ll get NBC in 2017. It’s been widely reported that…
Here’s the real story that no one else will tell you.
This is the NAS STD-9501M diplexer. It’s an essential part of a DIRECTV Residential Experience (DRE) system. But, it’s also a misunderstood part. Let’s take a look at what a diplexer does and how you should be…
So, this happened. A reporter from The New York Times tried cord-cutting and didn’t like it. It took a few days for me to read through all my e-mails and I want to thank all of you who…
The cord-cutter’s dream scenario would be getting every program for free. Every sporting event, every one of the top 10 rated broadcast programs, every news show, every comedy. The truth is that you’re far closer to…
It’s big. It’s powerful. It’s the one you really want. And only Solid Signal has it. It’s the Televes DAT790 LR Mix antenna. It combines ultra-powerful amplification with the strongest antenna gain, in a modern package that filters…
