LOL, I have an antenna I need to put on my house to get HD. I am too cheap to pay for Direct TV's HD package.

>I was thinking about that the other day. I wondered when exactly all of the tv antennas disappeared from the landscape. It used to be that every house had a tv antenna on the roof. When you moved into a home, unless it was just built, there was always an antenna in place and you could get tv reception immediately without cable. Nowadays, you have to connect cable or satellite in order to view tv.

>>>I didn't mean everyone usually gets to watch every game. What I meant was that until the advent of the NFL Network, if there was a nationally televised single game (Monday night football, Sunday night football, Thanksgiving afternoon games), everyone could watch them. That's no longer true.

>>Actually, that wasn't true even before. Used to be Sunday night was on ESPN; now it's Monday night, of course. You only get ESPN if you have pay TV.

>>I'm probably more sensitive to this than most since we've only have cable for a few years. (Conscious choice, not availability.)
