[…]services available today. But, in the past year or so, I’ve been so glad to have access to free broadcast TV through my antenna. The reason is this: Broadcast TV is the most reliable medium for getting real-time news in times of crisis, surpassed only by a battery-powered radio (because that will work even if the power goes out). Cable and Internet Infrastructure is Vulnerable Cable and Internet service can be pretty flaky, even when there isn’t a disaster happening. How often does your Internet go down even when everything is normal? During a natural disaster such as a severe storm, […]
[…]works for me but I’m not saying it will work for everyone. For example, if you’re not able to get free broadcast TV using an antenna, I can totally understand subscribing to a streaming service for TV. Same thing if you love sports or Game of Thrones (or other streaming-only shows). I do pay for Internet access, but I’m not counting that as part of my TV viewing cost because I need Internet access for my work. Unfortunately, it seems that cable companies are raising the price of that to compensate for losing cable TV subscribers. And, I don’t watch […]

[…]a tuner, so you shouldn’t notice any differences in setup. Now if you use an external antenna to watch free local channels, you will need to get a separate tuner adapter to connect your antenna to your display. Everything they say here is true, but this statement is buried way down on their site. If you look on Amazon, it’s really hard to tell that this “TV” has no tuner! Plus, few people will know to look for this. Ever since TVs first came out, they included a tuner that allowed you to connect antennas to them. Now suddenly, some […]

Ask Your Cable Company About Low-Income Plans Like Internet Essentials Some cable companies have low-rate plans for people with low incomes. Comcast/Xfinity offers a $9.95 per month plan called Internet Essentials for those who have a child eligible for the National School Lunch Program, or who are in other qualifying programs like Medicaid.

[…]I only endorse legal sources of free and cheap TV and movies on DisableMyCable.com. So, feel free to use any of the services that I mention on my site without fear!

I have Amazon Prime and occasionally will pay to rent a movie. And let’s not forget about the fun of watching a movie in the theater once in a while. And, one reader pointed out that if you […]
[…]part of the solution to the ridiculous cost of cable, satellite, and some streaming TV services is to use FREE broadcast digital TV using an antenna like one of the ones below.

[…]one would you rather watch? Can you believe the top one costs over $75 per month and the bottom on is free? The satellite dish image shows lots of artifacts here, all the result of compression: It looks like the satellite image has worse than half of the resolution of the broadcast TV image. So, if you have a fancy 4K TV, you’re pretty much not getting any additional benefit out of it over a regular HD TV if you’re watching TV from a satellite dish. Note that all of the images are unretouched; I’ve not altered them in any […]
[…]area. If you have a modern TV, then you just need to get a good antenna and plug it directly into your TV to get those channels. If you have an old tube TV, you’ll need a converter box.

[…]center pin of the other end of the coax cable. Here is an example using a power cord: Be sure not to touch the outer metal part of the cable to your improvised antenna, or else it won’t act like a good antenna. Only touch the center pin of the cable to your antenna! One thing I should emphasize: the other end of the power cord should NOT be plugged into the wall or else you could shock yourself and damage your TV!! Just let the other end hang free, not plugged into anything. Go ahead and kick off the scan while […]
[…]browser on your TV screen. You are not limited to “apps”. But, this requires a computer or laptop to be near your TV, but it opens up your TV to almost unlimited content from free websites as well as paid services like Netflix, Amazon Video, and so forth.

Chromecast plugs into your TV’s HDMI input, so you will need a modern TV. You can read my full […]
[…]your iOS device’s screen to your TV Roku disadvantages No native web browser No built-in Bluetooth (to use with headphones, for example), although you can connect via the Roku app on your phone. For most people, Roku is my recommended streaming player. It has the most apps and is the easiest to use. If you like using Alexa or need a web browser on your TV, then Amazon Fire TV might be best. Which Roku Should I Get? If you think Roku is right for you, you might be wondering, “Which one should I get?” It’s one of the most common questions […]
