 Antenna

After installing the antenna in our attic, we picked up around 12 digital channels in our area.  We picked upa few more channels than the availble analog channels.  Our main TV is not HD (digital) so we use the converter box.  We have not had any problems except DVR withdraws but have sloved this problem with internet and other options -see the DVR link.

Laptop

There are many ways to watch internet on your TV, which we explain in our hardware section.  At the current time, we have been using one of our spare laptops to watch free TV on the internet.  Most laptops have an S-video plug which can be plugged into an analog TV.  The output can then be changed on the laptop and the output should then be going through the S-video plug to your TV.  Contact us if you have questions about this.  So we will watch Netflix, Hulu or Fancast depending on the TV episode we want to watch. As I mentioned in my Netflix section, this laptop also turns into our master bedroom TV as well.
