Getting CBS while tailgating.

Im wondering if there is a way to get The Bama-A&M game without a satellite dish Saturday. A few years ago before the digital switch you could pick up those channels on just an antenna. Is there anyway to do it without dropping a large amount of money on a satellite dish? I have a modern big screen. not exactly sure model and make.
Thanks.
Thanks.

High def antenna is all you need.

All you need is an antenna and you will be fine.

sure...I do it every saturday with a $9 set of rabbit ears that I got from the wall marks...don't ever let anyone tell you that you need a fancy antenna to get perfect HDTV absolutely free...
FWIW, you can actually pick up about 10 or so different channels from campus and get all of the major networks plus others...digital switchover made a lot more channels available with an antenna....

Yeah just get a digital antenna (I think that's what you have to have.) you will also be able to catch the Oregon Tennessee game on ABC.

HD antenna is what you need. You can make one fairly easily. We did. Works fine.

or you could make a bowtie coat hanger UHF antenna

Like others are saying, cheap HD antenna at the wal marks. Just pay attention to which direction you need to point it. It will make a big difference in reception and number of channels you pick up.

Keep in mind a lot of the earlier HD TVs were only displays with regard to digital TV; in other words some don't have DTV tuners built in....check your owners manual. Otherwise everything posted is right on!

I watch lots of OTA TV for various reasons. I have yet to find a better antenna than the Zenith Silver Sensor. Those may be hard to find, but anything with this general design is going to work well, will be easy to set up, and will take up very little space,

I made this one for $6. I've got it mounted in my attic. In Hammond, I pick up all BR stations, and all NOLA stations.
Edit: I didn't even make the foil backplate. Just the antenna.

Anyone in this thread have any ideas for the best places to tailgate where there is access to an outlet to plug a TV in? Obviously I will bring an extension cord, just wondering they are fairly readily available around campus.

Not sure what kind of equipment or budget you have but at one of our tailgates we had an iPad with 3G coverage and hooked it up to the TV and that worked like a charm. I would not recommend purchasing an ipad with 3g coverage if you do not already have one.
