Time Warner offering free antennas to customers for CBS
- Thread starter crackedscreen
- Start date
If I were a pay TV customer, an antenna from the pay TV provider would be unnecessary, as I already have separate VHF & UHF antennas I bought a while back, & do a better job than what the pay TV providers would offer. For me, if I had satellite, I still need the outdoor antenna for the subchannels, because they only carry the main channels. So I'm doing alright with my own setup. I just have to find a way to make it work so I can also get South Bend stations, besides Chicago.
"Gee, thanks for the free antenna, Time Warner! Now I can cut the cord without paying a cent to get my broadcast stations!"
Boom!!
I know at least two people that Time Warner pushed over the edge with this nonsense. My guess they're like every other public "utility" that besides overcharging their customers that they never put any money into reserves to upgrade their infrastructure.
If people were smart they would defect to other services or OTA in droves! Until a la carte becomes the norm customers will end up paying for garbage they have no intention of viewing.

If you were subscribing to TW just to get OTA channels you were overpaying the whole time. Like paying for a gym membership just to mall walk.
If you were subscribing and watched CNN, Comedy Central et other cable channels your cut cord may dissapoint you unless you keep the internet cord connected.

On the other hand, there may be people saying "Wow, all the shows I actually watched I can get using an antenna or the Internet! Thanks, Time Warner, for showing me how I was overpaying the whole time!"

you can't put up a rooftop antenna in a Manhattan studio apartment
Yeah, I don't think Comcast ever had a dispute. But I don't think Comcast has a problem with price increases.
I would never subscribe to Cable because of the high prices and increases every year. Why pay $50+ when just with an 1 or 2 indoor HDTV antennas (1 antenna booster) - Free and just $7.99 of Netflix and $7.99 Hulu Plus which rounded out to $15 an month your entertainment options are well-covered in addition to the subchannels you can get up to 50 OTA Channels.
Does a window aerial work?
Unless they were trying to keep from looking at modern art and not hearing what the people were saying.If you were subscribing to TW just to get OTA channels you were overpaying the whole time. Like paying for a gym membership just to mall walk.

My guess is these antennas won't work in the DTV era.
