I am QUITE sure there are APS or upgrades you can get for $$$$ to get a CLEAR broadcast. I'm not into conspiracies BUUUUUT.......Last Spring, me and my Wife cut the cable cord and bought an antenna for local channels. It worked just FINE tillllllllllllllllllllllll.......... FOOTBALL SEASON! Not only that but.....If games were on CBS, our CBS station was a crap fest in reception. If FOX was the only game?? Yep! Poor to NO reception. Remember when you could buy ANY TV , plug it in and BAM!!! ALL local channels?? These days.....WITH a $45 antenna, it's hit or miss. There are SOOOOOOO many scams with our Entertainment these days. There IS a reason why we cannot get A La Carte cable channels....... Ticketmaster is a scam........And now, WHAT LUCK!!!! The NFL is in the same bed as Ticketmaster!! Yeah!! I TOTALLY get why you are pissed and I'm not even a Soccer fan!
