clear tv is a powerful, portable digital antenna specifically designed to receive these government-mandated tv broadcasts. once you purchase clea you'll be able to instantly watch local and national broadcast-network television for free. it's that easy. we wanted to find out the truth about the signal you've been paying for all these years, so we interviewed a broadcast-television engineer with over 15 years of experience. he asked us to disguise his identity, for fear that he could lose his job. we'll call him joe the engineer. >> joe, why don't most viewers know about free broadcast tv? >> well, who's telling them about it? the cable company's certainly not going to tell you about it, because they're in business to make money. why would they possibly tell you about something that's out there that's as good as what they're giving you, for free? >> does pay-tv lower picture quality to sell extra services? >> yes. the bottom line is, there's a lot of information.
5:01 am
in that signal is your television stations, your telephone, your internet that's all coming down the same wire, where, with the digital antenna, all you're getting is a broadcast signal and nothing else sharing that signal, so it's a cleaner signal. >> did free tv broadcasts ever stop? >> no. the truth of the matter is, broadcast is still doing great, even though the cable companies would like you to think it's no longer around or available. this is not the broadcast of 30 years ago, where it was an analog signal, fuzzy, you had to use rabbit ears, ugly antennas on your roof. if you have a digital antenna today, you can receive broadcast, and the picture is every bit as good as what people are paying for today. >> now, one of the first questions people often ask about clear tv is, "will my picture be just as clear as it is now?" the truth is, it may actually be better. that's right. many cable companies and
5:02 am
satellite providers use what is commonly called "compression." compression lowers the quality to make it easier to distribute the signal over cable or satellite. unfortunately, compression techniques literally discard portions of the original tv signal, negatively affecting the picture quality. but here's what makes clear tv so exciting. unlike cable or satellite, broadcast tv stations don't use compression. they transmit a completely clear, uncompressed digital signal. clear tv is specifically designed to receive and maintain the crystal-clear picture quality of the original broadcast. that's why we're called clear tv. in fact, we sent mary, one of our clear tv correspondents, to the mall to see if first-time viewers could tell the difference between cable, satellite, and clear tv. >> do you have cable tv or satellite? >> i use cable. >> how much a month is your cable bill? >> a month, i'd have to say, it's $100. >> i've got satellite tv. >> how much a month do you pay for satellite tv?
5:03 am
>> about $60. i'm a big sports nut, so i got the sports package on there. >> i'm offering to pay your satellite bill for a year if you can tell me which one of these is showing satellite tv. >> you'll pay my cable? >> yeah. >> if i tell you? >> yeah. >> all right. um... and they're all in hd, so -- wow -- it's hard to tell. >> you know, they -- to me, they look the same. >> you want to take a guess now? >> honestly, i wouldn't be able to. >> okay. >> i'm gonna say, the satellite one is... i'm gonna go with this one right here on the end. that's satellite. >> this one over here, you think, satellite tv? >> yeah. >> this one is actually the clear tv. >> you're kidding me. wow. >> yeah. and you can't tell the difference? >> no. >> even though i didn't pick the right one, do i still get the money? >> you don't get the money, but i have something even better for you. this is free tv for life. >> all right! >> that's clear tv. i have a gift for you. >> i get a gift? >> so, this one is clear tv. >> that's that? >> yeah. >> oh, thank you. >> and it's free tv for life.

you'll probably remember the huge antennas people used to have on their roofs or in their attics. those werehe days of old-fashioned analog television. today's television broadcasts are digital, which means they can accurate mntain their high-level picture and sound quality all the way from the tv station to your living room. and thanks to major advances in electronics, clear tv can take full advantage of the broadcast digital quality with its unique, lightweight, razor-thin design. better yet, you can add clear tv to as many rooms in your home as you like, and they will all be free of monthly fees. and here's even more good news. if you're renting a dvr every month from the cable or satellite company, you can send it back for even greater savings, because with clear tv, you can use a consumer dvd recorder to record your favorite shows anytime you like. the one thing you don't get with clear tv is a monthly bill. let's check in with joe, our broadcast engineer, and find out how clear tv can help keep you
5:20 am
safe during extreme-weather emergencies. >> joe, during a severe-weather event, does the broadcast still get through the clear tv antenna? >> yes. if you have severe weather and you, god forbid, lose power, but you happen to have a generator or a battery-operated television, you can get a signal. by law, the broadcasters have to broadcast. it's called the emergency alert system. they have to tell you what to do to be safe. and a lot of areas where the power lines and the cable lines are all run above ground, if a tree falls, you not only lose power, you lose your cable, you lose your telephone, you lose your internet. you're basically cut off from the world. if it's a hurricane or a tornado, you will definitely lose satellite. but with this antenna, you will easily get the signal and, hopefully, get the information that your family needs to get to a safe place. >> can the hearing-impaired use clear tv? >> yes, the hearing-impaired can use clear tv.
