    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Yup, I've tested by turning off the Wi-Fi on my phone and I'm only getting about 10 meg download speed. Ugh. How 1990s! :LOL:

    This antenna looks pretty good.

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Well, I did a lot of reading and video watching last night and the Superbox is another IPTV device. Pretty sketchy on legalities and possible access to reprehensible stuff. Not something I want. A bunch of folks said that their boxes became a "prohibited device" by their ISP after using...

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    I'm watching videos of it now. Interesting. :unsure: Current price is $359. But that's less than 2 months of my cable bill. This video gives the basics and some unnecessary tech stuff, but he provides a link to a channel list.

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Yeah, I'm 50 or more miles from stations, so that will influence the height of my antenna. I'm a little concerned about that height factor since I live in the lightning capital of the US. ⚡🌩️

    Do you use a power rotator?

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    Yeah, my TCL also offers quite a variety... of stuff I don't watch. My cable company is offering an a la carte option of 15 stations, but that doesn't quite match up with our viewing habits. And even so, it only cuts our bill by about $80 a month. And I'm a big-time DVR user and record pretty...

    Anybody use OTA TV?

    I'm 71 and have had them all. I'm quite capable of operating all of them and frequently use streaming services, but the pricing keeps going up and it's just getting nuts. Hence, the idea of checking out OTA again. I remember as a kid living in Virginia, going up on top of our big, really...

    I checked the Mercury website, but no joy there. Found these Teleflex instructions, so based on that, I'll order 16' cables.

    I sold the cables to the guy who bought the old motor that used to be on there. 😝

    Okay, my senioritis kicked in again. I totally forgot to measure for and order new throttle and shift cables. :rolleyes: This morning I went out and measured the boat. "B" is 8 feet and "A" is 3 feet, 2 inches. I then added 2 more feet to go around the engine. That brings the total to...

    1997 Mirrocraft 18' aluminum fish n ski

    Ya know what's weird? I've had this boat for 3 months now and I really haven't spent any time with it, other than working on the project stuff. I haven't even cleaned the inside since I purchased the thing. Odd. :unsure: This afternoon I went over and climbed into the helm seat for the...

    Well, I did start with a working boat. I just had to make it non-working and then go from there. 🙃
