I can recall a video from a few years back of people showing college students how you could get free TV using an antenna. They thought it was some sort of piracy device or somehow illegal.

I mean, I would rather watch nothing if my only other option was to watch the TV. A two hour movie is stretched into three hours and you can't even pick what and when you want to watch.

I don't miss the times when watching the TV was the only option in our household.

When I visit my parents they still watch the TV even when they have Wi-Fi, laptops and tablets. They still watch it and when I see all those ads I want to vomit.

My TV antenna is almost exclusively for live sporting events.
