Queen Creek area. The cheap antennas would pick up a few stations but most were glitchy. The number of stations I could pick up using a larger powered antenna more than doubled when I stopped trying to use the cheap ones. It likely has to do with the fact I am right next to foothills.
Has to be I’m in QC as well but just aim little antenna towards south mountain and get tons of channels, but usually just watch sports.
Do you have an old school aerial antenna mounted on your house? I notice you said aimed. Most of the new indoor ones I see are mostly rectangles you mount on a wall or window.
I bought a roof mount one for the house for like $50 on Amazon that is hooked to like 7 TVs, but I have just the small one in my shop/garage and it picks up basically the same. Just did one in the roof for house for aesthetic reasons as a bunch of TVs wall mounted so didn’t want individual antennas everywhere lol…
I can't disagree with this and for me, the Nash led teams at their best were the most fun I've ever had watching this team or any team or any sport for that matter. But, for me, asking to be traded away from the Suns on two separate occasions drops him down just a bit in my book. Even still, it's close between Steve and Devin and Booker could easily render the question moot by leading us to a title or by abandoning us if things go south.
Sorry 'bout that, it's nowhere near my first time taking a thread off topic but it might be my first time doing it accidentally. Most of the time I just click (and respond) on the threads that have had new posts without noticing the thread title.
IDK. Aren't they mostly on the main national stations?
I'm moving back to the Valley next month and I need a streaming service that has ESPN, TNT, and NBATV. Does YouTube TV have all those? Do you recommend it?
OK, thanks. That’s not an issue for me as I will have OTA antenna for that.
Yes! I have seen there is going to be a new service like you said with all the major networks combining to have the majority of sports all in one package. If it contains the NFL, that may be the way to go in the future because we won't have to buy all different streaming options. Currently I am watching the Suns on over the air antenna, and the Yotes, too. Currently the Dbacks aren't available on free TV. You have to get the MLB subscription, or a Dbacks.TV plan that is $99 for a season, or $19.99 a month.
Awesome. Thanks for the info. Sounds like I'll start with YouTube TV. What is this new service? Is there a link or a name?
You just download the YouTubeTV app on your tv and sign up.
Thanks! I'm ready for it, man. That was the biggest con in my decision to move back but all the pros outweigh it significantly. I've done it before, I can do it again. Although, it's probably consistently hotter now than when I moved out of state in 1991. I figure I'll get solar panels when I buy my home later this year if it doesn't come with them already. Plus, moving to AZ is going to help financially which will allow me to travel in the Summers.
Every time I moved in AZ, and when I moved back from Nevada, it always worked out in the summer when I swore there was no way I was moving then. LOL. We have all had struggles wit DirecTV. Living on the boundaries of the state line in Yuma, Bullhead City, etc., I found the black out rules imposed by the NBA to be unfair. You can't expect a person on a week night to drive to those locations for a 7 or 8 PM tip off, watch the game, and then drive home and go to work the next day. I complained so much and so often, that I actually got to top management at DirecTV and also in the NBA offices. They had something like a 150 mile radius from the stadium that would be affected by black out. I was trying to get them to impose a 60 mile radius arguing that 1 hour travel time seemed reasonable. It never went anywhere, of course, but it was interesting the experience. I had one of the original batches of satellites that came out. I think my member number was like 350. They always made a big deal about my number when I called in. That probably got me forwarded to top management I was guessing. Of course DirecTV kept saying it was NBA rules.
Wow. So you must have started before me then. I think I've had DirecTV continuously since the mid 90s (I wonder if there's a way to look that up?). It is finally coming to an end. Good for you for putting up the fight! Yeah, those mile limits are too far. I've been forced to endure the Lakers and Clippers broadcasts for the last 23 consecutive years. And that's like 10 games a year. No more!
I bought it the day Best Buy made them available in So Cal. Back then, it wasn't all Directv though. Initally, a Hughes spinoff called USSB provided the access to most of the channels we recieved through the DBS whereas Directv offered only the premium channels. It wasn't until the late 90's that Direct bought out USSB and combined all the channels into their service.
