News Report that ran on KGW Channel 8 Portland, Oregon:
"Ugly mass of metal"? hmm, to me an antenna is beautiful. It screams "FREEDOM!"
My favorite quote, though, is "I didn't know you could still use them". Yes, you can!

Sure, that $29.95 offer from the pay TV sevice looks inviting.
But once the "promo" expires, whats it really going to gost you? Recent Surveys indicate the average pay TV subscriber pays about $70 a month. This price generally does not include "premium" channels or packages, or even an occasional Pay-Per-View. Even HD is extra for some providers. About a hundred channels, including lots of infomercial-religious-and useless,and about 4 local stations.
