Rabbit Ears

New for 2019, rabbit ears tv.

The number one problem call we get from guests is related to our satellite television. It’s either a loss of reception (due to the low southern elevation of the satellites), or it’s clumsy fingers pushing the wrong buttons on the remote. Well, no more. We are going back to the old standby...antenna television. 

Today’s antenna television is nothing like what I grew up with. I would joke that I got two channels: on and off. Half the time the screen looked like I was watching a blizzard. Modern antenna television is digital, high definition with considerably more channel choices. NBC, CBS, ABC, local FOX, three Alaska public channels, and occasionally CW. 

If enough people complain about the lack of viewing options, we will reinstall satellite television. I don’t think that will happen. Based on an informal poll of our guests, the response is they are here to recreate, not to watch television. Besides, our phones, computers, and tablets have claimed most of our screen time.
