I gave it my best, but ain't gonna be any OTA TV for me. That said, an opportunity to get quality equipment for a hella good price. I'm going to be in East Contra Costa Friday 03/21/25 for anyone in the Bay Area, I can't deliver unless it's Brentwood / Discovery Bay, otherwise it will need to be picked up in one of those two cities. I can deliver it anytime in the Redding to Shingletown area, and at some point I will be. I will also be in the Petaluma area in the very near future

The downside, is that if I want to watch the Giants, I have to subscribe to a provider (NBC Bay Area) or look into other means. I can subscribe to NBC, and it's $25 a month, which brings me to the Hillbilly part. I'm...
