I forgot how good free TV feels

Grew up watching everything over the air but somewhere along the line as I grew up I got pushed into streaming because it was easy, cheap, and convenient. Fast forward to today and now it seems every live TV service is a privilege as it somehow costs $80 a month just to subscribe to YTTV or Hulu live.

I finally caved and bought an antenna again and honestly it feels great. Plugged it in, scanned for channels, and suddenly I’ve got crisp local news, sports, and weather for free. No subscriptions, no buffering, no juggling a bunch of apps. Just click the channel button and it’s there.

It’s kind of wild that the old way ended up being the most refreshing tech upgrade I’ve made in years.
