For someone without cable or satelite television service, I have a pretty agressive viewing schedule ahead of me.

The Antenna Project Conclusion
Well I am closing the case on wanting to install an HDTV antenna on the roof. Kitchener-Waterloo is located in a 'deep fringe' area and that would require a big and expensive antenna. Rachel doesn't like the idea of something so big being installed on the roof and I don't like the idea of having to get up there to do the installation. We will just live with the channels that we get in. I have bought a indoor antenna to help boost those channels and I think we will leave it at that.
This whole thing started with me getting all excited about the last season of LOST. I want to watch it the night of to avoid people spoiling the plot on me. I had a simular freak-out last January and even bought a Bell HD Receiver and service. That lasted 24 hours before I returned it. After crushing the numbers then and even the other night for six months of service is a ridiculous amount of money. I refuse to pay it. I would sooner use that money, which was around $450 dollars, and buy the shows on Blu-ray when they come out.

The Antenna Project Part One
I built myself a tv antenna yesterday made of cloths hangers to see if could be done. We don't subscribe to any cable or satelite television services because we feel that we don't get our money's worth out of it. As it stands we get the local Kitchener station coming in very clear on its own. And three other stations are visable to some degree.
Well when I hooked up my homemade antenna, I was able to double the amount of analog channels we receive. I was hoping for at least one digital signal, but I'll have to try again. I just had the antenna on the main floor and leaning against the wall, not very safe with two kids in the house. Later this month I will venture into the attic and connect it up there and see if it improves the number of channels we can get. CityTV from Toronto was one of the new stations which is cool, plus some French CBS station came in clear however we will never watch that.
I think that we will continue to download our television content for the time being and watch our shows on the Western Digital HDTV player. Plus iTunes has added a lot of new shows to its listing including LOST and Gossip Girl. If placing my antenna in the attic improves our total channels or adds a digital one, then I think I will consider adding a real antenna to our roof.
This project only cost me $11 dollars by the way. The cloths hangers were free.
