Episode notes
Football Got Clark Back To TV
- Clark describes returning to TV watching because of football and enjoying better picture quality with antennas.
- He says an antenna often yields superior game viewing compared with streaming or old cable.
Check Antenna Options Before Buying
- Use antennaweb.org to estimate which antenna you need and whether rooftop or indoor will work.
- Try different antennas and placements because local terrain can make predictions imperfect.
Avoid Junk ATM Currency Conversions
- When using ATMs abroad, always choose to receive local currency (euro) rather than U.S. dollar conversion.
- Use your bank's partner ATMs or providers like Schwab or USAA to avoid junk fees and get rebates.
