RadioShack HD Antennas Solve Current Cable Crisis, Help Consumers Cut the Cord to Save

Get 25 Percent Off an HD Antenna at Your Neighborhood RadioShack through September 7, Tune Back into Local HD Broadcast Channels in Minutes

FORT WORTH, Texas, Aug. 26, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- As millions look for ways to avoid missing out on their favorite programs and others strive to trim their entertainment budgets, RadioShack makes "cutting the cable" convenient and easy. Take control of your TV content in five simple steps:


1. Learn What's "On Air": Visit AntennaWeb.org and enter in your zip code to
find out what high-definition (HD) channels are available "over the air"
in your area as well as tips on selecting an antenna. Your local
RadioShack associate can also help you choose the right antenna.


2. Hook Yourself Up with an HD Antenna: If you just want access to all of
your local HD channels through a cable provider or don't want to pay the
added monthly charge for local stations, an antenna may be the only
equipment you'll need. The latest indoor antennas start at just $49.99
and work for many homes and apartments. Outdoor options require
installation but offer more range, get the antenna up high or around
obstacles, and may help get the signal through thick walls. Either type
will offer years of fee-free local HD channels. Read more about the
benefits of HDTV antennas in this techspecs blog post from RadioShack. To
help to customers missing their local network shows, RadioShack is
offering a 25 percent discount on its best-selling, ultrathin
AntennaCraft Amplified Omnidirectional HDTV Antenna in affected areas
through September 7, 2013. The top-rated AntennaCraft line is available
exclusively at RadioShack.Note: If you have an older TV, you may need a
digital converter box so your TV can understand the signal from the new
antenna. RadioShack also has adapters and cables to get everything
connected.
3. Set Your Sights on a Streaming Media Player: Your HD antenna takes care
of local channels, but consider adding one of these handy little boxes if
you are a heavier TV viewer. They allow you to stream loads of free
channels plus services like Netflix over your internet connection. Two
great options include the Roku 3 and the NETGEAR NeoTV Max. Channels and
services vary by media player, and prices range from $49.99 to $99.99.
4. Plug In, Turn On: Each device comes with step-by-step setup instructions,
and installing typically only takes a few minutes. You'll be up and
running before your next show starts.
5. Consider Adding Subscriptions: If you watch a lot of movies or series
that don't run on local channels, you may want to explore the paid
services available through your streaming media player. Most offer either
monthly paid subscriptions or a la carte pricing (per show or per
season). Look for free trials for monthly subscription services if you
aren't sure which one will best suit your needs. Monthly subscriptions
start at about $7.99.
That's it! Time to start watching TV and counting up the potential savings.
