Thanks to everyone for the suggestions!!
(the issue is not really financial.....I'm just being cheap and picking and choosing where I spend money, etc...) And I've been watching games at my folks house, which is great because I get to hang out with my brother, which is a dog named Morrie.....
HOWEVER: I'd love to get games at my apartment and I'm one step closer..I hooked an old VCR to my T.V. via RF Modulator, and hooked the free cable to the rf modulator as well, and, like i thought, I I've got more cable channels than with just the t.v., including the Celts channel (comcast)
A lot channels come in very nicely, but the four sports channels look lousy, like a nightmare from fifties antenna reception....what the heck could be causing that since an antenna is not even involved??
I would get a new cheap t.v. but I don't think that's the reason for the bad picture. anyone know what could cause the bad picture with the current, rf modulator set up??
thanks again....
