[gui-talk] would like some help after disconnecting from cable tv

Unfortunately, I don't believe they have made any radio/tv/s that do what 
you need. I also believe that unless you are near a large city, antenas 
don't really work. I hear a lot of adds for antennas on TV every day, but I 
feel they are all too good to be true. Where do you live?

I am in Victorville, CA. It is 80 miles or so from Los Angeles. I use 
Charter because it is the only cable system available up here in the high 
desert.

Hi, listers.  After experiencing astronomical increases in my monthly cable 
bill, I decided I'd had enough and disconnected the service. I was told by a 
friend that, if I got an indoor antenna for my TV, I wouldn't have any 
problems getting my local channels over the air. Unfortunately, the antenna 
doesn't work at my location, the signal is extremely weak, and I can get 
only a couple of channels. Has anyone else on the list been successful in 
cutting the cord and getting good tv reception or is this just not possible 
in some some locations? If that's the case, are there any receivers you can 
bufor that will broadcast the sound from the TV stations? I know that, 
before everything was converted to digital, some -panies made radios with TV 
sound bands. In fact, I have one, but, of course, it doesn't work since the 
signals from the local TV channels are now digital. Thanks in advance for 
any help.  Beth Wright
