To Dish or not t Dish

Welcome back!

Here in the middle of nowhere we’ve only been able to pick up two television stations: ABC and PBS. Ever since about two month after “The Big Switch”, however, for some reason other, we have not been able to pick up ABC at all. There was a debate recently about whether we should spend what could be a small fortune one time to have someone take a look at the roof antenna or just break down and spend a small amount of money every month for the foreseeable future and get a satellite dish.

The debate hasn’t been settled for sure just yet. On the one hand, we don’t watch enough television (and wouldn’t with dish network available) to justify about fifty bucks a month, but on the other hand, nobody here has got the three to five hundred bucks that it might cost to repair whatever has happened to the roof antenna. All I know is that I’m not going up on the roof for anything. ;)

I was thinking just now that it might be interesting to try this USB TV Tuner and see if it’s possible to get the “local” (90 miles away) television station with it. The USB TV Tuner pictured here is on sale for about what one month of Dish Network would cost. It’s actually a very tempting idea.
