It seems like all of a sudden, costs are out of control. Friends, I read the same news as you do. It says that inflation is about 9% for the last year, while salaries are only up about 5%. This isn’t a political blog and it’s up to you to decide why you think this is. I’m just here to save you a bit of money.
Watching TV costs a lot
The average person with a streaming, cable, or satellite pay-TV package is now paying close to $100 a month just for that service. Add a few streaming apps to that mix and you’re getting close to $200 a month. Yes it’s true you get a lot of value out of those things, but sometimes it’s just not something you can afford, at least in the short term. Luckily, there’s another option and it’s always been there for you.
What you’ll get with a TV antenna
Maybe you haven’t had a TV antenna since you were a kid. Depending on your age, you might never have gotten your TV that way. There’s something that you should know… a few things actually. Let’s take a look at the facts about TV antennas.
Live TV with an antenna is free. Forever. Really.
Television broadcasting is paid for with commercials, and that means it’s 100% free to you. The only upfront cost is for an antenna, and once you do that, you’re set. You can save a lot of money over time. In four years you can save enough for a very decent used car just by cutting out pay television of all kinds. The best thing is that live television isn’t going away. It’s been there for 70 years and it’s going to be around for 70 more… always at zero cost.
You’ll get a lot more channels than you thought
You might remember getting 3 or 4 channels from an antenna setup. With digital television, most areas now have 20-30 channels available including movies, shopping, and special interest channels. In some areas there are over 100 channels available all for free. Seriously.
The stuff you want to watch is there
OK I won’t lie to you. Live television probably won’t bring you that awesome new show that everyone is gossiping about. But whether you want news, sports, reality, sitcoms, dramas… it’s all there on antenna TV. You’ll even get a healthy dose of the shows you grew up with, no matter whether you grew up in the 1950s or the 2000s.
Getting the right antenna
Oh, but I see. You’re afraid of making that big commitment to an antenna. You’re worried that you’ll have to get a large, unsightly bunch of metal rods just to get your shows. Luckily you have a friend in the business. You don’t have to rely on apps or sponsored content to help you figure out what antenna to get.
