How old is your apartment building that you cannot get cable service? I've never run into that before.


23 years. Its age is less of an issue than its size. It has 400+ units and just contracts out TV service to a local San Francisco outfit, Satel: http://www.yelp.com/biz/satel-san-francisco

Satel has a sattelite receiver on the roof that provides for the complex.

The only programming options are:

1. DirectTV (extremely expensive)

2. 'Basic' Cable, which gives only a subset of terrestrial broadcasts at only 480p. This service wouldn't qualify for nbcolympics regardless due to no cnbc, msnbc, etc.
