    Yes we should, my brother from Cleveland may come here......we were planning on unhooking the cable on 1 TV and doing the rabbit ears if necessary.

    Oh I have 9 TVs on our cable system but only 1 SMART TV, I do like Armstrong's internet! I will see the game.

    I’ve found that stringing a loop of a couple hundred feet of motor winding wire in the tree tops out back pulls in 19 pretty good. Another good use for a drone

    For local (40 miles or less) DTV you can go to best buy for rabbit ears about $13. If you want more serious TV viewing attic or outside antennas are the way to go.

    I used to do a lot of that way, way back in my amateur radio days. Had a 15 meter dipole atop a 65' tower among others.

    A drone and a helper can string out wire by the Lb. reeling it all in can be a pain but that’s why God invented fishing reels. I thought about hovering straight up about 400 ft. The USAFR would probably be here though. A bit close to the air base for that. Hate to see my model take a sidewinder... lol. I’ll bring up the ham potentials with some other guys I know, here I’ve only been thinking Browns games. I bet you could mAke and string one helluva monster radio antennas for short wave. How much antenna is 24lbs?

  • How about if you dipshits just get cable instead of trying to use rabbit ears and antenna.  What is this...the 60s?

    If it is NOT on your cable but available OTA.

    On calculating wire wt, lgh, etc. there are all kind of charts out there like https://www.ormiston-wire.co.uk/products/wire-converter.php

    Well I have to run.....

    I happen to have both satellite tv and cable. And there are times o need to run a antenna. Federal law and all that complicated stuff dipshits don’t understand.

    There are 'po folk out there who can't afford Cable or satellite TV Gipper. To the tune of around $100 a month. And now AT&T and their ilk want PUCO to totally deregulate land lines so they can screw over the 2 million Ohioans who still have them, and in some cases even have cellphones. BTW, me and a few other folks I know still have land lines, just probably too lazy to drop them paying $50 a month for a service we don't use. 

    PS- with cable and satellite, you're stuck with what they consider a "service area". I can't get Cincinnati stations here in Dayton on Directv. But if I put up a 1\2 decent antenna, I could pull them in, if I had a mind to.

    At least you don’t live on the fringe of stool city. I can grab Cleveland or Pa with the right setup. No thanks to Timewarner/spectrum and Dish. Plus the picture quality is better with OTA

    You could here and probably watch both games at once. They’re showing the Browns local and with the Redzone channel, it’s all the football I need. Back in the day though it was pretty routine to hit a club with a few TVs, food and cold brew. That’s where I learned that stooler fans are the result of anal pregnancy. Nothing else explains it

    I still have my office land line.....but I dropped AT&T  because their rates were much higher.  But that included my internet as well.

  • Here is an interesting scenario:

    Recall, Browns/Ravens first game was won in OT by Browns 12-9.

    What, if by chance, Browns/Ravens end in a tie......and Steelers beat Cincy:

    Ravens would be 9-6-1

    Steelers would be 9-6-1

    Browns would be 7-7-2

    Bengals....6-10

    Ravens and Steelers split, did they not?    So then what?  It would come down to division record?  Ravens would be  2-3-1, Steelers would be 4-1-1 in division......Steelers win, right?

    So, either way, the Squibs have to hope the Browns win or tie....and they beat the Bengals.  (highly probable)

    Do they still use points differential?
