I got me a converter box for it and plugged in this RABBIT EARS antenna I was told to get.

Wowza! It kicks suddenlink's arse OUT THE DOOR!

I get ABC 24/7, a great movie channel, METV (a comedy channel), CBS and a lot of other stuff.

Very few ads and VERY little news.

If I want news, I stream it on the link I posted.

It can be done!
