Ah. Well if your PC is static, a USB tuner isn’t too much. Plus then you have a built-in DVR.

I hear that. We have an attic yagi aimed directly at Seattle from 10 miles away, and we still get the occasional dropout even on our strongest signals.
Still when it works, it works really well. We watch Nature and Nova on Sundays, and the wildlife footage looks incredible.
Well considering many paid tiers of streaming services also serve ads, I consider it free-er than that.
Also, most of the hardware is already inside your TV. You just need a $20 antenna.
Also attempts to make the ads more invasive (louder in this case) are literally legally limited by the federal government.
See this is what I’m talking about. Cable is not the same as over the air. I’m not sure how your cable works in Hungary content/pricing-wise, but I do find it funny that a lot of younger people in this thread are lumping the two together.
You don’t, but that only applies to sports or things that you need to watch live.
Ah, I remember finding it on stumbleupon like 20 years ago. I always thought it odd that there was no video or follow up story.
Hunted for a link at 1am last night and wasn’t really paying attention. Plus the whole thing grossed me out, so I didn’t look too closely.
Sorry for wasting everyone’s time.
Wait, what? Are you talking about people who upload content and try to slide by the copyright filters?

So to answer the original question, have you tried it and are you under 25?
That’s interesting! So it’s like free cable TV?
Yeah but instead of $60/mo, it’s free.
Pick up Tablo or HDHomerun. Connect an antenna. Drop it in a closet or wherever you get the best reception. Then just record stuff you like. You can browse from any media streaming box (AppleTV, etc).
There’s decent content in there and after the upfront cost, it’s free.
Eh. There’s also the serendipity of it. There’s a half dozen shows that we regularly watch that we only know about because they were randomly on TV.
Have you looked? A bunch of the new shows on Hulu are broadcast. Lots of reality TV. PBS rules.
Also a bunch of movies. Especially shitty Christmas movies around the holidays which are a personal favorite.
For like $150, you can get a Tablo DVR or similar that records what you want to watch, auto skips the ads, and streams it over WiFi to your phone or laptop. Just leave it on for a year and boom: entire season of whatever show is now yours forever for free.
I mean, it’s a really slick gimmick. I think having a bendy screen is cooler than two screens even if it’s more expensive/difficult to manufacture and doesn’t provide any real benefit.
I’m sure there are a half-dozen ways you could at least fake it. Like if the bezel can be made clear and they overlap somewhat.

Doesn’t have to be an emergency. 183 children died rushing to get free toys.
At the bottom of the staircase, the door opened inward and had been bolted to leave a gap only wide enough for one child to pass at a time. It is believed this was to ensure the orderly checking of tickets.[4] With few accompanying adults to maintain order, the children surged down the stairs toward the door. Those at the front became trapped and were crushed to death by the weight of the crowd behind them.[2]
Definition of poor organization resulting in death.
Yes. Radio waves can pierce opaque objects.
