Easter came this year and you may have hunted for decorated eggs, had a nice brunch, or exchanged little chocolate bunnies, all of which are quite nifty.

But you missed out if you didnt buy yourself some rabbit ears.

Happily, it's not too late.

For those of you who have grown up with cable and satellite TV, you may not know what Im talking about.

Rabbit ears are those adjustable metal rods that come out of a ball-like base that squats on or near your TV set in order to improve reception. Along with rooftop antennas, theyre what households used before the advent of cable and satellite TV.

Admittedly, the clarity they bring is less than perfect, but heck, if youre looking to dump that cable or satellite TV provider; theyre just what you need.

I bought my rabbit ears at the 99 Cent Store, and I cant tell you how happy I am.

I am getting about 25 stations for FREE. Compare this to paying anywhere from $39 to $69 a month for what is dubiously called, Americas Top 30 or Americas Top 50 by one of the satellite firms.

Their channels are no better than what my ears and I are pulling out of the air.

If youve been reading my articles with any regularity, you know Ive been unplugging from needless technology, especially that which requires an outflow of money on a subscription basis.

There are some exceptions, such as Major League Baseball, which I can get on my laptop or my PC.

But I found the customer service at the cable and satellite firms so abysmal, and the quality of their programs so low, that I decided to take action.

If you cant summon the gumption to go completely TV-less, try rabbit ears, and tell your friends.

When you tune in that first free show, youre going to be in for a thrill!
