Rabbit ears + Ma Bell

Filed under: Gadgetry, Home — jjm @

We’re testing our ability to get by on over-the-air HD (and Hulu and Comedy Central online and possibly Netflix). Having gone back to AT&T DSL, thereby playing along AT&T’s longtime Holy Grail vision of multiple bundled services on one bill (wireline, DSL, wireless), we are going back to the future - Ma Bell and rabbit ears!

Initial impressions, particularly to my TiVo-acclimated eyes - ATSC digital really is pretty. Getting signals from both Mount Sutro and San Bruno Mountain, indoors, however, requires more than a little trial and error. With that, behold our mighty indoor HD antenna from RCA with twin dipole VHF antennas and UHF antenna. Makes a wonderful addition to our Victorian home.
