    We watch the sub channels more than any other.
    The ones we have so far are:
    MeTV
    Escape
    Laff
    CW
    Bounce
    Grit
    Movies
    Decades
    Antenna TV
    H&I
    AMG
    TuffTV
    Cozi
    Retro
    getTV
    It would be great if there were some kind of non-subscribe type of tivo for antenna TV. It would make it a lot easier to find something to watch during the few hours we watch at night.

    Wow, you have a lot. I have eight of those, and one called Buzzer, that just shows old game shows. Don't watch that at all.
    I use two recorders with tuners(hard to find anymore), record off one and play back with the other. I record pretty much everything I watch, as I don't have a lot of time to watch in the evening, and I do like to watch some shows and movies. Plus, it is nice to zip through commercials and stuff that is boring.

    The commercials on those channels can be almost painful to watch. Wife used to make me mute the catheter commercials, but she has since grown numb to them.

    I may have an old vcr with a tuner laying around here somewhere to try.

    Remember, if it is not digital, you will need a converter box.

    I've gotten so I can tune out the commercials, what gets me mad is the phone calls, so they have to listen to the answering machine if I do not recognize the caller id number, thinking about getting a call blocker.
