Easter came this year and you may have hunted for decorated eggs, had a nice brunch, or exchanged little chocolate bunnies, all of which are quite nifty.
But you missed out if you didn’t buy yourself some rabbit ears.
Happily, it’s not too late.
For those of you who have grown up with cable and satellite TV, you may not know what I’m talking about.
Rabbit ears are those adjustable metal rods that come out of a ball-like base that squats on or near your TV set in order to improve reception. Along with rooftop antennas, they’re what households used before the advent of cable and satellite TV.
Admittedly, the clarity they bring is less than perfect, but heck, if you’re looking to dump that cable or satellite TV provider; they’re just what you need.
I bought my rabbit ears at the 99 Cent Store, and I can’t tell you how happy I am.
I am getting about 25 stations for FREE. Compare this to paying anywhere from $39 to $69 a month for what is dubiously called, “America’s Top 30” or “America’s Top 50” by one of the satellite firms.
Their channels are no better than what my ears and I are pulling out of the air.
If you’ve been reading my articles with any regularity, you know I’ve been “unplugging” from needless technology, especially that which requires an outflow of money on a subscription basis.
There are some exceptions, such as Major League Baseball, which I can get on my laptop or my PC.
But I found the customer service at the cable and satellite firms so abysmal, and the quality of their programs so low, that I decided to take action.
If you can’t summon the gumption to go completely TV-less, try rabbit ears, and tell your friends.
When you tune in that first free show, you’re going to be in for a thrill!
