Have they tried reducing their price or increasing the quality of their product?

No?

On a lark I hooked up an antenna to see what was on broadcast TV. There were like 5 pbs channels and a dedicated weather channel. For being free it was pretty good.

I love my antenna. I get like 20 channels. Local news, pbs, and old cartoons and sitcoms.

PBS is actually better than ever and I prefer it over most of what gets shoved in my face on my PC.

Its currently cheaper for me to collect used laserdiscs, dvds, and blurays.

People are dumping physical media, and its a firesale. For most discs its $1-5 if you know where to look.
