After One Year Of Television With RABBIT EARS...

[JamLazyAss]

Yep it's true. I've been watching tv with rabbit ears for over a year. Just had the Dish Network Satilite installed.
So what did I get to watch tonight you ask? How about a new episode of OCC !
Now remember, it's been over a year so bear with me.

I got to see Paul Sr get married  I thought this was supposed to be a bike show?
They did go visit the National Guard in PA, that was ok. Guess they're going to do a NG bike? Might be a re-run for all I know.

The biggest thing that caught my eye (or should I say didn't), was that Vinnie and the kid that did the sheetmetal work were absent.
Was it just tonight or did they get fired, quit, get smart, start their own show, etc etc..?

I'd like to see how that bike turned out, but after a half hour...
Wish they'd stay focused more on the bikes and less (much less) of the fighting and joking around.
But if that what sells, guess I can't blame them.
I'd like to "enjoy" the show, but they make it tough with the way it's formatted.
I know there's a lot of OCC bashers here, and I'm trying not to be one of them.
Just stating my observations.

OCC...A big fat blow hard tells his son how stupid he is on nat'l T.V. to make big bucks.....I'm not impressed even w/o the unrideable bikes....

Good gawd man! Do you have medical insurance? A plastic surgeon can fix that!

I had only rabbit ears for many years. I didn't get cable till i married my current wife seven years ago. I don't watch OCC and wish we still only had rabbit ears. For all I care the TV can go too.

I just got Dish network about three weeks ago. Not bad. I was tired of being screwed by the local cable co. (Comcast) The last straw was a deal where they interrupt your service repeatedly, and then when you call in to report the problem, they tell you that you can fix that by upgrading to digital cable. At around 85 bucks for four TVs connected and standard service, I told them to stick it.
Now I pay less for more.

I can't stand the show either. Don't know how it stays on the air. I did hear that Vinnie and Cody quit and started their own shop building bikes.

[04customking]

Yup, I searched for them.

I don't think going to a Harley super box store  buying all the parts, assembling them , then welding a bunch of useless crap on . then whine and moan while doing it makes anyone a custom bike "fabricator" anyhow. not like the real  bike fabricators like Jesse James , Indian Larry R.I.P and all the others that actually make parts, frames ,  tanks and so forth . they are the real fabricators.. just my opinion

We live way out in the boonies.  Cable television is not available.  The first three years we lived here we tried the various satellite companies (Direct and Dish satellites).  Neither could provide us with local stations, so we had to use rabbit ears to watch the local news or network television.  This year, with the coming of digital tv, we installed a roof antenna with an electric rotator and a digital converter.  We now get far more stations than we could get with rabbit ears, including the local stations.  Of course we can't receive the stations available only to cable/satellite subscribers, but we only watched about 10 stations out of the 200 or so we could before.  We did not renew our satellite contract and haven't looked back.

Something we found out in time, if you decide to buy a digital converter and live relatively close to Canada, buy one that provides "analog pass thru".  Canada is not going digital for a couple more years, and with the "pass thru" you can watch their analog stations also.  Otherwise the digital converter will not allow the analog signal through.

Dave, if you connect a computer with broadband access to your TV, you can watch a whole lot of shows for free: http://www.hulu.com/

Also, Netflix offers downloadable movies now. No need for cable, satellite, etc any more except for net access.

What about that guy Rick?
Did he go to V Force too?

OCC is kind of like watching "Big Time Wrestling" UFC.

Thanks....my wife had found that.  We had to have dial-up for the first couple of years here (rough after having cable internet for years).  The phone company finally installed DSL about a year ago. 

If you have a laptop with Wi-Fi, you may want to install Wi-Fi Radar ( http://easy-wifi-radar.en.softonic.com/ ).  It's SO much easier to find a local Wi-Fi signal than using the built in connection software and it's free.  I'm just a very satisfied user, I don't own stock (etc) in the company.

I guess I couldn't be a big time bike builder like OCC.  Wouldn't be enough drama unless I ran out of time and had to work like a mad man in the last few hours.  Then I would really have to struggle to get the thing started for the big bike show with about 15 min. left.          Marty
