Though you say those days are over, these days, a lot of folks are fed up with their cable or satellite provider over high prices and lousy content. Many are looking back to antenna reception, and some who've never dismantled their old tower(s) are thrilled to discover that the antennae of olden days works mighty fine for pulling in the signal needed for their modern ATSC tuners. Myself included, I've told cablevision to bite me, and though I watch so little TV now, can pick up several channels to pick and choose from via a very old tower-mounted antenna :) Nice van, btw.
