I’ve used inexpensive rabbit-ear antennas for years. They bring in all the broadcast and UHF channels. I understand that when they change over to digital you’ll be able to use rabbit-ears for that, too–assuming the TV is DTV-ready or you have the box.

Thanks for the input Melissa and cinzea! I’m just trying to stay focused on paying off debt. We may put an antenna in the attic – I have a friend I have been talking to who can do that kind of stuff. We are thinking through our options. I’m just excited right now about paying down debt and I don’t want to stray away from that. Thanks again for the comments!

Do you have an attic? You can put your antenna in there. Don’t you have any friends or aquaintences that you can barter with and get your antenna restored? Why must you settle and do with less? Isn’t life hard enough as it is?
Just a thought.

I also am a Dave Ramsey fan and we are in baby step #2. I meticiously search through the paper every week to find coupons to save on groceries. This has really saved us a lot of money. Just today I saved $12 on my grocery bill!! Its funny how being on a gazelle intense budget changes the way you think about the little things. Sure to most people your 25-35 satellite tv bill is not that big of a deal but when you are fired up about getting out of debt – its HUGE!!! But as DAVE says “Live like no one else so that later you can live like no one else”.
