boat tv reception

jrc · 04-13-2006, 10:31 PM

My new boat has a TV and the slip has cable, so no problem. But when I'm out on the lake, I have to rely on the antenna, which the boat has. Will I get any stations?

Why would anyone want to watch TV on the lake, you say? Well my wife is a Red Sox nut, so if we're anchored somewhere and I'm swimming or fishing, she will be much happier if she can see them crush the Yankees.

I don't know how you're going to break this to your wife.

According to my schedule ALL the Red Sox games on TV are on NESN!

NESN to the best of my knowledge is not OTA (over the airwaves)!

My suggestion, get a good radio antenna. WEMJ used to carry the Sox I don't know if they still do, you might try either the Red Sox website or the WEEI website to find the affiliates!

Glad I'm not you when you tell your wife

But on the other hand don't worry, most of them are night games! :-D

The only channel I've ever been able to receive clearly is channel 8.
