I'm in the act of cutting off the Direct TV. Is it possible to put 2 antennas on one TV?

    You do need two antennas. One for UHF & one for VHF. Of course they usually come connected. I could also see a value in having two or more separate antennas if the signals come from different directions. You would of course have to have a way to connect & disconnect them & it would be easier to have a rotator on just one antenna.

    I cut TV completely out of my life 20 years ago, and I haven't looked back since. And by the way I do more fun things in a month than most people do in a year with all the spare time I found cutting TV out of my life[^][^][^]

    Just think of all the more fun things you could do if you cut out your internet too.

    I can't believe how many commercials are on now days. You get a little bit of programs with tons of repetitive commercials. And the seem to compete with stupid. I would fire most of the staff making the recent commercials.

    I just looked at the Blue Mtn. Translator District site and it looks like your signal comes to the Baker area from Beaver Mtn., about 170 degrees SSE by compass. I think it'd be a stretch to try and pick up signals from Mt. Harris or Mt. Fanny to your North. I'd think you should be able to get by with a single antenna.

    there are several that really bug me. The exact same ad running as many as five times in one hour for weeks on end. They almost always have a number to call so I call & keep giving them a hard time or sometimes I don't say anything until they finally hang up. It does help to record the shows so I can zip through them.

    You can record OTA broadcasts with one of these. I do.

    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain
