The District of Columbia may be the center of our government, but it is also known for free entertainment. While Americans may complain about the amount of taxes paid each year, the District of Columbia has an abundance of free museums, memorials and attractions designed to entertain and educate. In addition to these free establishments, residents if the District can also get free HDTV without a monthly cable bill.
How? It is no secret that the cost of living in our nation’s capital is expensive. Housing, transportation and food prices are sky-high, but severing ties with your cable company is one way to cut expenses. Cable companies taunt you with their HDTV programming, but anyone can receive free HDTV by purchasing and installing a rooftop antenna or, in some cases, an indoor antenna. HDTV is digital TV. In 2009, the old analog signals that were broadcasted from the nation’s local towers were converted to digital signals. All stations were required to switch. This means that all signals transmitted freely over the air from broadcast towers are digital and high-def. As long as you have a means to receive these signals from an antenna, you will receive multiple stations of local programming absolutely free. No, you will not receive cable networks free with a rooftop antenna, but many of today’s most popular cable stations make their episodes available online which can be streamed directly to your TV as long as it is connected to the Internet. This can be done with Internet ready TVs. Finding a professional installer in your area is easy and inexpensive. Households in the D.C. area can expect to purchase and install a rooftop antenna for about $150 dollars. This is a one-time cost, not a monthly subscription fee. Give us a call and we will set you up with an installer in your area quicker than you can say free TV.
