In the age of subscription entertainment services, there is very little reason to be paying even more for live TV. EXCEPT… sometimes I just really want to get together with my friends and watch the Bachelor while it’s actually on, or we want football on TV on Sundays. This simple antenna costs less than $20 and you can get your basic local channels without paying anything extra. Channels like ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX. AKA the channels where most major events are happening. You can snag one of these antennas on Amazon for around $17 and its totally worth it.
