So my pastor has spoken on the topic of Christian suicide before. I believe his position on this issue stems from his belief in the doctrine “Once Saved Always Saved” (ie you can’t lose your salvation once you’re a Christian). Anyway, I was listening to the Bible on my commute home last night and I heard something that may conflict with his espousals:

1Co 3:16-17 ESV Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit dwells in you? (17) If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple.

Well, I had purchased an antenna from Terrestrial Digital last week, but it was missing a core component (a circuit board with the coax attachment on it). This is an unpowered “dipole” antenna, the DB2. It runs like 40 bucks. It looks like a fence with some wierd magnetized crossed poles on it.

I affixed the aforementioned coax attachment and plugged the thing into my TV, and had it search for some channels.

Here’s what I got, in Meriden, CT:

Digital
DTV 3-1: WFSB-HD (CBS)
DTV 3-2: WFSB-D2 (CBS)
DTV 3-3: WFSB-NOW (CBS Weather)
DTV 8-1: WTNH-DT (ABC)
DTV 30-1: NBC-DT (NBC – WVIT)
DTV 30-2: NBC WX+ (NBC Weather)
DTV 31-3: FOX 61
DTV 59-1: WCTX-DT (MNT)
DTV 59-2: WCTX-SD (Weather / Radar)

So I’m getting Digital: ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, MNT. I’m missing PBS.

Analog:
8: ABC
18: Spanish UNIvision
20: CW (unclear)
22: NBC (snowy)
24: CPTV/PBS clear, non-HD though…
30: WVIT NBC
40: ABC 40 (snowy)
59: WCTX (MNT) – a little unclear
61: Fox 61

Right now, I’m paying minimal amounts of money to keep a cable connection. I had tried to cut it before because I didn’t watch much TV like that, but the channels that did come in with the cheapo antenna from Wal-Mart were weak sauce. I’m pleased with the DB2 (anyone else think IBM database when they see that?).
