I know NBC is free tv you dork
But here, on this rock in the middle of the Pacific, you need cable to catch just about anything on television. You can use an air antenna but you'd only get 2-3 channels (ABC, FOX - if it's a good, clear day, and K-5-a local station).
Where I live, we're too far from the main highway and there are too few residents for the cable company to install wiring ... so it's not available to us ... my aunty have a satelite dish and I was thinking of getting one too but the truth is, we're hardly home and when we are home, there are so many other things that need to get done ... so it'd be a waste of money ... and if I had television, I would be the one stuck to the tube, not my kids
