After reading the post Tivo Courts Cord Cutters over at Zatz Not Funny, a blog that covers Tivo-related news, I ventured to a local Best Buy to take full advantage of the offer that Dave Zatz pointed out in the post. Namely, I bought a Tivo Premiere unit and an Antennas Direct ClearStream 2 long-range HDTV antenna for the all-inclusive sum of $100.
Separately, each item is $100 by itself. In other words, I received a $100 long-range antenna for free. Couple that promotion with the fact that Tivo is offering a separate promotion for users who only want OTA content ($10/month instead of $20/month, promo code: Antenna), and I was sold before I’d even bought anything.
For months (maybe even years), I’ve been trying to find the one solution to getting rid of cable or satellite. The cost versus benefit of cable or satellite is just too exorbitant. Also, I’m not quite ready to give up TV like so many of my much-holier-than-me friends and family have done. I still want content; I just want it more on my terms and less harmful to my wallet.
