Pinching Pennies With My New HDTV
For my birthday this year, my parents bought me a nice TV for my dorm area. I know, I am really lucky to have such extraordinary parents.
My roommate is just as apotropaic to have a roommate who has provided him with a great HDTV to view during our late nights of studying or partying, whichever the circumstance may be at the moment.
The only problem I found was that I couldn’t afford the cable monthly rate for high definition channels.
My parents told me if they bought me the TV, I would have to handle the expenditure of receiving the high definition channels, if I so prefer. Of course, I want high quality image, why wouldn’t I?
I was researching a project one night and drifted off onto some sites talking about antennas. I couldn’t believe what I was reading because it was like I had struck gold or something. It was that major.
The antennas furnish you with signals so you don’t have to use your cable provider to receive the signals. I thought this was outstanding but I didn’t really know where I would put an antenna in a dorm area.
I started thinking about it and kept reading online. Eventually, I found something that would succeed in my room. There is an high definition picture frame. Weird, I know.
You can put a picture in the frame, hang it on your wall and it receives a signal for high quality channels. I bought it and tried it out. It wasn’t pricey at all so I didn’t have to worry about dishing a large chunk out of my piggy bank.
I am pleased that I did decide to buy it because I am so joyful with it and needed to let everyone know it, especially other college students. We don’t have a lot of money but we still deserve to have a pleasant television to see.
We work hard and need a stress release. Now my roommate and I possess many of the best channels available now. We spend way too much time in front of my television but it’s okay.
Another thing I figured out while doing my search is that after February 17, 2009, I wouldn’t be able to watch my television without the high definition service from my cable Co. because all broadcasters will be required to transmit out these signals only.
Now, I am all set for the switch and can keep to watch with no problems now and in the future.
