Cutting the Cable TV Cord. Part 6. - New Antenna

I decide to buy a new antenna to bring in the local stations a little better. This antenna was on sale for $19 so I decided to buy it.

 I got it from these folks, the same company where I got my Raspberry Pi: MCM Electronics.

It came today & I installed it in the attic.  After having the TV search for station I got a total of 25 stations including ABC, NBC, CBS, WHDH, PBS, FOX and a smattering of other stations that mainly show old classic TV shows.  Now I think I am done!

Cutting the Cable TV Cord - Amazon Fire TV - Part 5

Haven't posted in a while but my TV situation is fine. The Amazon Fire Box arrived earlier than expected. Installed in and put sling on it for CNN and ESPN.  I got the Box instead of the Stick because I wanted "wired" internet versus WIFI. I have Amazon Prime because we usually spend over $100 in shipping from Amazon yearly, so prime is basically free for us.

I haven't used the laptop for Sling or HDTVSHOWS in a few weeks. I only used the Amazon Fire box, plus OTA antenna.  Haven't missed out on anything we want to watch. I would say it is a successful migration plus I am saving about $100 per month. Sweet!  I think I need a new antenna though.
