Local broadcast television has been with us for over 100 years. But it's never been better than it is today.
After the digital TV transition, millions of households across the United States gained access to dozens of crystal-clear high definition channels broadcasted freely on local towers.
The big cable companies don't want you to know that with a little indoor antenna, you could be watching your favorite shows, movies, sports, and news completely for free.
