Deal of the Day!! Winegard FL5000 Digital HDTV Antenna

Okay so if 2013 was the year of Roku, Roku 3 Streaming Media Player (Click here for more) as my tech device of the year, then the Winegard FL5000 Indoor HDTV Antenna is setting up to be an early contender as my favorite tech device of 2014.

I dislike monopolies, and I dislike multi-year contracts, all of that translates into me not being a huge fan of cable or satellite companies. And I really disliked the highway looting and theft of American analog airwaves by government and big business. This eradication of the analog airwaves a few years ago in essence made your traditional rabbit ears useless; and was a boon to paid tv options, leaving the majority of the American population to choose between suffering with subpar reception or buying into pricey paid options to enjoy their television.

Thankfully the infrastructure and technology of local stations has caught up, finally, with the demands of digital viewing. And add to that we now have affordable digital reception devices such as the Winegard FL5000, and free television is suddenly once again a viable reality. The Winegard FL5000 I can report after a couple of weeks of using it is awesome! If you are in a typical large city the un-powered FL-5000 will do the trick fine, bringing in numerous digital channels, with great pictures and sound, and an info option that lets you see details on the program you are watching. Combine the free coverage from the Winegard with the Roku on-demand channels and there is no reason to remain a slave to over-priced cable companies and locked-in punitive satellite services.

Put simply the Winegard FL5000 is the deal of the day!Winegard Company FL-5000 FlatWave HDTV Indoor Digital Flat Antenna – Made in USA (Click here for recent discounts and savings)

The Roku is a streaming media device, perfect for people like myself who do not want to be enslaved to a cable company or satellite company, and locked into their (in many cases) 2 year plans.

Instead if you already have 3G or 4G broadband service, adding the Roku allows you to get streaming on-demand stations via that connection. For one low price for the hardware, and no monthly fee, With a quick setup the Roku wirelessly connects to your broadband connection and away you go.

And for those who don’t have a Roku, but would like one. I suggest the following two models:

Roku 3 Streaming Media Player

Roku 2 XD Streaming Player 1080p

Now to get the most out of your Roku, you’ll need to supplement your free Roku channels (some recommended ones being PBS, POPCORN FLIX, CRUNCHY ROLL, SMITHSONIAN, MIDNIGHT PULP and ON to name a few) with one of the paid services such as AMAZON PRIME or NETFLIX. You can get a year membership to either service for far less than a typical month of cable/satellite service.

Get your Amazon Prime service here:

Amazon Prime (One Year Membership)

And finally supplement your on-demand, Roku service with a quality Digital antenna to bring in the free over the air channels:

AmazonBasics Extreme Performance Ultra Thin Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna – Designed and Assembled in USA

AmazonBasics High Performance Ultra Thin Indoor HDTV Antenna -Made in USA

Mohu Leaf Ultimate Amplified Indoor HDTV Antenna

With this one, two, three punch your up front cost is more, but you’ll actually save over the cost of a year, in getting tons of content with a miniscule monthly fee when compared to cable. And the great part is you are not locked into an onerous contract as with a cable company.
