It looks like I'm about to lose my cable at the condo. For the past couple of years I've been paying $20 a month for full cable. It seems that if you pay for the basic limited package of cable quality local channels you also get regular cable because the cable company can't split the signal. I mean, it's just a simple set up and I still use a VCR, but it's only $22 a month or so after taxes. Now they've figured out a way to split the signal, and everyone with regular cable is going to get a digital box to keep the riff raff like myself from getting channels over 27, so after September 15 I'm going to be without cable, since I refuse to pay $60 a month for it and I can get the local channels for free now that everything's gone digital. I just need a decent antenna.
