I want to thank readers of the previous blog entry “Long
Walk to Financial Freedom: Cutting the Cable Cord” for your support and
comments. Since that entry, I bought a digital antenna for my television for
$21 at Target. I get nine channels, including KCRA 3 (Sacramento NBC
affiliate,), KOVR 13 (Sacramento CBS affiliate), KUVS (Sacramento Univision
affiliate; hey, I need to improve my Spanish comprehension!), and KMAX
(Sacramento CW affiliate).
No ABC shows? Maybe KXTV News 10 in Sacramento doesn’t offer
a digital channel. If that’s the case, BOO!
Furthermore, I’m putting my DVD player to good use. I
started checking out DVDs from my library, including “Lost: The Final Season,” “TheBig C: First Season,” and “Person of Interest: First Season.” I was surprised
to find so many current titles at my local library. This could work!
I can’t use Roku because it requires an Internet connection,
which I gave up with my television cable connection. I will wait about six
months before I restore my Internet connection. In the meantime, I use the computer
at, where else, the local library.
I still miss watching television that doesn’t break up
because of bad reception from my antenna. But I’ve heard that a budget reflects
one’s priorities. My biggest priority is getting myself out of debt.
I may not get what I want in terms of programming. But I
have what I need. Oh, and my library has Seasons 1 through 3 of "Game of Thrones!"
