Nah, we're saving money best we can and only have a few streaming services, like Disney/Netflix. We considered getting YouTube TV, but really don't want to if we can help it. Shit is too expensive, might as well get cable again. And we're back to my initial argument lololol

We don't have a TV service like cable or satellite. We do have a local NBC channel that we can get on an antenna. There was a period of time when television went from analog to digital that you could get new antennas for local channels for free. You have to be in an area that broadcasts, though.

We do have an antenna, you are correct, but it's very spotty. Antenna television isn't like it used to be; streaming is the best way to watch the games these days.

I will have him as a low end TE1 with top 6 ceiling. And when it comes to 7-12, I'll take the top end potential every time. It's all a crap shoot at that point anyways.

Exactly what John's saying. TE's (typically) take time to develop and Pitts hasn't been terrible, just below LOFTY expectations. You don't want him? I'll take him at a discount.
