You can also get a digital TV antenna (< $100) since most of them are still being broadcast, somewhere. This gives you the FULL experience of having to know when the shows are "on." /s

Of course if you live in an apartment that may not work.

You do not need to spend $100. You do not need to spend $1 if you have some scrap laying around. TV antennas are super easy to build!

Will this still work now that VHF and UHF are no more?

It's a whole other world out there! But yeah, you can get the big sporting events, e.g. some of the Women's World Cup matches (the ones the US team is in).

When I first connected it, I cycled through ALL the channels. There were about 800.
