If you haven’t already cut the cord, chances are you’re at least thinking about it — and for good reason. 

Studies show that approximately 14.1 American households access content through streaming services, and that number has only tripled since 2013.

Sure, streaming services help cut down on the number of commercial breaks we have to sit through and make it possible to watch films and television anytime, anywhere. But you have to admit, it’s kind of nice to watch some programs in real time, whether it’s an award show, a big game, or the season finale of The Bachelor. And what are you supposed to do every time something’s on that you want to watch in real time? Go to a bar? Coax your friend into watching it for free? Um, no thank you.

That’s exactly why Neva Tech’s Indoor HDTV Antenna is the best of both worlds. This gadget receives HDTV and digital signals to broadcast local, national, and regional programs — minus the lofty cable subscription.

We know what you’re thinking, “Antenna? So I’m going to have to install a bulky dish on my rooftop?” 

Well, not exactly. 

Not only is Neva Tech’s model placed indoors, its slim enough to hide behind your couch, curtains, or large, lush plant. It’s also available in two colors — black and white — so you can grab one that matches your home décor.

Normally, Neva Tech’s Indoor HDTV Antenna is valued at $38, but for the next few days, you can buy it for $14. The Emmys, fall primetime premieres, and football season are just around the corner, so now’s a better time than any to buy.
