![]() ![]() A 1902 farm house with chicken wire, lath, and plaster walls isn't conducive to great indoor reception, and for some reason, the bow tie antenna was about the only thing that worked with both UHF and VHF channels. I don't watch much up there, but used to pick up 4 channels on a bow-tie antenna. Remember the old, TV reception term "snow"? Anyway, now that we're above the 1980 poverty level, we have a downstairs satellite-fed, modern set, but upstairs I've still got a 13" color CRT in my office. I couldn't afford a color set until 1980! I limped along on a hand-me-down 1959, 19" B&W Admiral. You haven't lived if you haven't endured years of grainy, B&W reception in the 1950s. I'm over 60 and was about 10 years old when we got our first TV. I kind of chuckle when I read reviews by people who don't realize you need antennas if you don't have cable or satellite TV. ![]()
