[QUOTE="johnlvs2run, post: 72680, member: 5032"]My Mom is 90 and likes to watch the basketball games in the winter. Her tv wasn't picking them up so she signed up for directtv for $30 a month. They immediately racked up the price to $86 a month which has been causing her great aggravation for 2 years. She has called them each time but they say she is locked in because she signed a two year contract. I have talked with her before and after that to just get an antenna and she'd get the games on tv but she thought direct/tv would be easier. She is interested in the antenna now, and the direct/tv runs out in a couple of months. HYBRID ANTENNA She was asking me about [url=http://www.heartlandamerica.com/browse/item.asp?PIN=95057&SC=WIS20001&]this $20 antenna from heartland,[/url] that has an amp and a rotor. Here is [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/UHF-VHF-FM-DIGITAL-TV-HDTV-INDOOR-AMPLIFIED-ANTENNA-NEW-/140473912553]a comparative indoor antenna on Ebay.[/url] INSIDE ANTENNA She doesn't have the resources to hook up an outside antenna, and her house is difficult to get on the roof. However, she lives in a hill, the antennas are only 20 miles away, and the land to the antennas is mostly flat. [URL=http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d81a374b8109131]TV FOOL[/URL] I'm wondering if a good indoor antenna pointed at 239 degrees would pick up well from 188 to 293 degrees. TV Would this work well with a converter box, or should she get a newer tv? I will try to find out what kind of tv she has. SPLITTER Can the indoor antenna and directtv be plugged into her tv at the same time with a splitter? How would she change from one to the other?[/QUOTE]
