Monday Magic - How to Get Free TV

Do you still have a monthly cable or satellite TV bill? 

Do you wonder if you could get any kind of television broadcasts if you dropped cable or satellite transmission?

There is a way to find out before you cut the cord, and that's today's free app. 

I realized after I titled this post that it might be misleading. Yes, TV viewing can be free, but it requires an antenna. The free app tells you what to look for in an antenna and how to find out what broadcast stations you can get.

After an antenna (from a low price to a high price depending on what you buy), TV viewing is indeed free. We—well, Darling Hubby—installed a whole-house antenna so this is something that really works. 

AntennaWeb 

This online app is free to use and can tell you how many television stations you can get simply by entering your zip code in the search box.

That's not all the app can do. In addition to finding out which channels are available for free over the air in your area, you can also find out the best antenna type for your needs.

Yes, you buy an antenna, a one-time purchase, then watch TV for free without a monthly fee.

The app can show you the distance and direction from your home to each available broadcast antenna. In case you didn't know, the broadcast antenna is not necessarily in the same location as the broadcast station.  

AntennaWeb offers a free custom TV guide page as well as product pages for vendors. You can then compare the cost of the antenna to other retail outlets like Amazon, etc. 

There's also information about the coming advances in "over the air" broadcasts of digital stations and the latest technology that benefits those who don't want cable or satellite.

TAKEAWAY TRUTH

If you're on an extremely tight budget, cutting the cord—and maybe cutting subscription streaming services too—broadcast television may be exactly what you need.
