You can bundle your cable or satellite TV with other telecom services to get a discount, I suggested. An audience member said he'd eliminated monthly fees altogether. How? He'd bought an antenna for his high-definition TV and was getting his signals from the air.
I asked how many others had done that. About 8 to 10 people put up their hands. I was impressed.
Where do you buy these antennas? Electronics stores sell them, as do retail chains such as Wal-Mart. An electronics retailer quoted in a Star article in May 2009 says the up-front cost is $65 to $140.
How many channels do you get? While you have to give up a few channels if you use an antenna, you still get a good selection.
