Rabbit Ears

Time flies, we've been living at our new home for 8 months now. That means the discount period for our cable service ends. It's time for the breadwinner to do something about it.

Struggling with the question: Am I willing to pay 3 times over what I've been paying to get the same service?, the wise guy in the house decided to challenge the status quo, challenge himself, and challenge his boss (wife) to live a life without cable. But what do we do with the TV? Do we use it as a computer monitor or just a home decor? A TV without cable is like a head without brain. Or a rabbit without ears...

Luckily I found an old rabbit ear TV antenna from the storage and was able to hook it up with little effort. To my surprise, it can receive around 10 channels, 4 of which are digital too. There's E!, CTV, CityTV, CBC, Global, and Channel M. But there's also the Shopping Channel...

The quality of the analog channels has yet to improve, but a rabbit with a longer pair of ears that points to the North should help... the hunt continues!
