[quote=nocommonsense]I have AT&T Uverse internet only (~6 mbs). Does anyone know if that comes with basic cable? If yes, what channels? I live in 4S rach and indoor rabbit ears don’t work, even the expensive ones. Actually they kinda do if I stand in a particular spot holding it up.
I’ve been looking for a way to receive free local HD channels to no avail. Any suggestions will be appreciated.[/quote]
No uverse doesn’t not come with basic cable. Though you can get something with only basic cable. Actually, in CarmelV, if you only want the major channels, I found I can get OTA HD signals from the major stations plus PBS HD with just a small 18″ antenna.
That said, I’m pretty happy with my uverse.
And for most every call, I’ll use my cell. And for those long adult calls, I have Ooma VOIP, which isn’t too bad.. The box is around $150, $35 to port and old number, and taxes come out to be about $3/month for unlimited calls. Not bad. If I move from one house here to another for a long time, carry the box with me.
The only drawback is if you have a house alarm, you don’t have landline +cell backup. You would only have cell and something else like internet (if it’s supported).
