My 2cents I believe these sets were never capable to get any of the
higher band cable. When they say 91 channels they don't mean cable
channels I believe they mean channels VHF, UHF and cable added together.

Snowafter 64.
How can they be picked up by cable networks when this information is
carried by
cable, not airwaves?
I would think antennas would be a must for those on satellite that wish
to receive
local networks.

Snowafter 64.
Amplified Antennas are no longer an alternative.
1....Stations have cut their power back, because they now get picked up
by a
Cable or Sattelite networks.
2...Besides having an amplified antenna would also need a Rotor and a
Deep
Fringe antenna.
