Gomer Pyle died 2 days ago. I grew up with antenna tv as we couldn't get cable. The Andy Griffith Show is one I grew up watching. I still watch it as do my kids at times.
RIP Jim Nabors

I still watch Antenna TV, just through cable.
Better than half the junk on modern TV.
(That's a cable network if you didn't know)

I'm thinking of going back to an antenna and anythinng else I want to watch ill stream.
The only show I watch faithfully on cable is the walking dead. I just noticed I can watch it on Amazon prime.

Going to have to check out prime. I got it just to beat shipping on some heavy packages.

Me too, it won't work if you are running a VPN at the same time, though

I've had prime for over a year. Not a lot of new release movies but plenty to watch. It cost a little extra to watch certain things.
I got prime anyways might as well get some free tv watching out of it.

I think it's a gold mine; lot's and lot's of documentaries and historical stuff: I watched all the Neandertal stuff(science based) and right now a serious historical account of Thermopyle

I quit cable about 7 years ago. I watch almost everything via HDTV over the air, I get about 50 channels including 6 PBS stations. I picked up a channel master dvr and it's every bit as good for recording and pausing live tv as the cable company's dvr. Everything else I pirate, usually via kickasstorrents or Piratebay. If you've got a vpn, you can pirate any tv show, movie, game, or program in existence without consequence. I LOVE today's tech...

I've been watching a lot of the docs made by soldiers on it. Good stuff.
Got the model number for that channel master? Does it only do digital or will it do analog as well?
We left out antenna when we moved. I was getting close to 40 channels from our local area and had a motor where I could turn it to other cities. Another 30 or so each from a couple o the cities. Mostly repeat channels but some were different.
I got my mom one of those 40 dollar motorized antennas off amazon. It picks up about 20 channels or so at over 60 miles.

Here's the link to the dvr - https://www.amazon.com/Channel-Master-DVR-Bundle-subscription/dp/B00J05QJPG/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1512447134&sr=1-3&keywords=channel+master+dvr
It only does digital. I have an older one from another company that will do analog. The cool thing about this dvr is that you supply your own external hard disk, so your memory can be as high as you'd like, and you can use a drive you already own. I think you can also upload programs to your pc from the external drive. I love it...
