I gave up cable a while ago and I really don't miss it all that much. There are times I do though, like during a game or some other kind of live event. Thankfully, most of those things are on basic cable channels. I figured I might give the old rabbit ears a go. Does anyone else use them? What brand/model do you use?
I've seen quite a few for really cheap and I'm wondering if they're outdated enough to be that inexpensive yet still effective.
I guess there's not a whole lot to them so it makes sense that they would be around that range. I just wasn't sure. I guess the lack of demand probably helps keep prices lower as well. What brand did you get?
Man, I've never even thought about using rabbit ears. I've been checking out stuff like the Sling TV for sports but this is a much more affordable option. I didn't even know they still made them. Thanks for the idea!

I "cut the cable" many years ago, opting for streaming services and local television instead. I used an indoor antenna when I lived in the city, because that's all I needed. It wasn't "rabbits ears" but effectively the same thing. Now days, it seems like the "plate" format loop antenna is more popular and works just fine for city dwellers. But "rabbit ears" are fine too - they're a good ol' dipole.
Now that I live outside the city, I've chosen an outdoor antenna. It's not a Yagi beam antenna like what was on most homes in the 1970s and before, but those work great too. I use an outdoor dipole, because it's omnidirectional.
