Have you cut the cord yet?

For years techies have been cutting the cord and enjoying the benefits of using a TV antenna. Now in 2021 it has finally become a real trend… for everyone. People are ditching their cable subscription and replacing it with a modern TV Aerial. The question is: have you taken the leap yet? And if not, what’s stopping you?

Why cut the cord?

The reason for making the switch used to be for financial reasons. It was well-known that cutting the cable cord and buying a TV Aerial was a cheaper option. However, in recent times it is not just about money, but more about control. Control of what you watch. Why keep paying a monthly subscription to your cable or satellite provider and have dozens of channels that you don’t even watch? Then this is the time to take the bull by the horns and cut the cord! This is the time to enjoy access to TV that you actually want to watch using a One For All TV Aerial. Don’t forget the additional benefits of a TV Aerial: a way to declutter your living room and being able to set up your TV anywhere in your home. Just follow these rules:
