Your excitement will slowly decrease over time like mine has

it has, Sol? Why? I agree, ANTENNA TVs GREAT! So many shows that I haven't seen in YEARS! I just wish that most of them were on at more convient hours. I.E., Jack Benny and Burns & Allen at 2 and 3 am. Oh well.

I think it will get better once all the Norman Lear shows are gone

I just hope Cox Cable can pick it up.

they're dropping all the Norman Lear shows? Where'd you hear that?

treky · 10-19-2011, 12:22 AM

I just wish they'd start showing The 3 Stooges again.

One thing I always found unusual about Antenna TV, was that when I had it, I used to get TV signals from other parts of the county. Besides the channels you'd expect from the New York Tri-State area, my family also go WTNH-Ch. 8 in New Haven, and occasionally some other stations in Connecticut. But on my TV, I'd frequently get stations from Providence, Rhode Island, Atlantic City, Vineland, New Jersey, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Dover, Delaware, Ocean City, Maryland, Baltimore, Maryland, and even Boston and Washington, DC!

I was saying that I want all the Norman Lear shows to be gone

Hey, at least you have it. I'm sure they will change their programming from time to time.

catlover79 · 10-19-2011, 04:16 AM

Here in Cleveland it's channel 8.2 - I love it.

LUNCH · 10-19-2011, 12:10 PM

I also love it,now if only I can also get Me-tv they seem just as good.

SpenceOlchin · 10-19-2011, 02:02 PM

I love Antenna TV. It's easily my favorite network on tv. The only issue I have is that my affiliate (WPIX) runs a re-air of their 10PM newscast at 2am, so no Burns & Allen.

Other than that, I have no issues. It's nice to see a channel with no permanent logo on the screen, popups or other distracting things. Plus, they show the credits w/o credit crunches or voiceovers. TV Land who? Now all I need is ME-TV.

(Maybe)..... but its gonna take a long long LONG time. And some shows I thought I would never see again...like Bachelor Father and Here Come The Brides. I was gonna buy a DVD set for Here Come The Brides and now I don't hve to.

Right now I'm like a kid in a candy store. Taping (DVD-ing) like a fiend. So many great shows that you can watch on a portable DVD player one day.

Also, I think they will rotate shows eventually,,,but one thing I do hope....that it doesn't get all crappy-assed the way Nick At Night did. But considering I can get it with just a digitial converter box (don't have cable)....well...right now I'm in heaven.
