I use a VHF/UHF black and white televion. No cable. (Way to expensive!)

Can someone please give me a list of all of the channels/Stations I
should be able to pick up in the Queens/NY area? Including other near
by states that broadcast to NY?

I turn on the TV this evening and while turning the channels I noticed
channel 25 came in very clear.

I am not familier with this channel 25. As I am watching it while I
type this, I am waiting for station identification. But because they
are broadcasting from live Times Square, I have not heard station ID as
of yet.

Well, I hope free TV continues in the future!

I find that those color TV's do not work well unless you have cable
connected to them. Then you have to pay for it!

I do not mind watching a black & white TV with VHF/UHF like radio
reception. But it is hard to find a nice size black & white TV these
days.

I still use my less than 10" screen Zenith. On it I mainly watch PBS &
BBC. I am curious to know all of the different channels I could pick
up. And I hope that free VHF/UHF TV will continue.

On my larger color Toshiba TV, I mainly use it for my DVD & VCR.

Just to mention, when those first color VHF/UHF TV came out sometime in
the 1970's, you always had to adjust the colors. Then after a few years
the colors would bleed and the whole TV was totally mess up!

In the future I would like to buy a HDTV and use it for Playstation 2.

Can HDTV work without cable? And do they still make larger then 10"
screen black & white TV?

Those were the good old days!
