Why I cut the cord - Free TV & no more cable bills, forever.

Why I cut the cord - Free TV & no more cable bills, forever.

It started when my wife said she was pregnant. I had no idea how much a baby was going to cost and so we started cutting expenses wherever we could. I purchased my first OTA antenna and within a month I was getting upset at myself for not doing it sooner. I started to think about all the money I had been flushing down the toilet for years.

Fast forward. My son just turned 6 and I now work for Antop antenna company. I have AppleTV, Roku, SlingTV & Tablo - I couldn't be happier and I save over a thousand dollars per year.

Want to try cutting the cord yourself? Do you have the guts?

First, Decide if you want an indoor or outdoor unit and then go to antennaweb.org to find out how far you are from the broadcast towers. It's easy. Just type in your zip code. Next, go to Antopantenna.com and buy the unit that fits those criteria. I like the powerful AT-400 outdoor/indoor because it doesn't need external power and comes with a 40' coaxial cable. Up to 139 channels from 33 over-the-air stations may be received at my house, yours may vary.

By following the simple tips below, you can enjoy FREE TV with your ANTOP Antenna:

- Re-scan the channels of your TV - It's under the menu button.

- Scan channels monthly to find all available channels including newly added or changed.

- Do not place or hide the antenna in/behind any metallic objects.

- Install the antenna as high as possible and near a window for better reception.

- Keep the antenna away from any high power consumption devices to avoid interference.

Finally, There are some other really great reasons other than cord-cutting to consider over-the-air reception. For example, if you lose pay TV service during bad weather, or your cable company threatens to drop a network, a TV connected to an antenna can continue to get reception. Also, if you record several shows simultaneously, you can use the TV’s tuner to watch a show while your DVR (Digital Video Recorder) is tied up recording other shows or programs.
