We get it, taking the plunge and cutting the cord isn’t always an easy decision. First comes convincing your family. Then deciding what equipment you will need, what HD antenna, what streaming services, etc. And then… you dive into the deep end. You call your satellite or cable provider and give them the bad news. It’s time to end your relationship, and no, it’s not you, it’s all them. Tears might be shed, but everyone will move on, you on the better end of the deal with a boat load of money.
Now comes the time to install your antenna. We have shared countless tips on how to choose the right antenna, how to find your towers, aim the antenna, and scan for channels, but it’s always nice to see a video from a real-life cord cutter who gives their tips and tricks. And that’s where Mark Barros comes into the picture. Mark cut the cord using an Antennas Direct DB4 years ago, and has never looked back. He’s our kind of guy. A cord cutting superhero.
If you’re looking for tips on how to install your outdoor antenna, look no further than this video from Mark. He talks us through how he installed his DB4 including some tricks that will make the install process even easier for you.
Now, to some key points and tips Mark shared in his video:
- With an antenna, you will receive broadcast signals for FREE in high definition
- Install Tip: When mounting the antenna, the higher the better to reach signals further away

When it comes to the overall summary of Mark’s thoughts on cutting the cord and his experience as a cord cutter, he said “best of all, this solution eliminates any monthly bill I have to pay and the quality of the signal I receive is fantastic.” That sounds like a pretty happy Antennas Direct customer. We like happy customers.
We will leave you with these brilliant words from Mark himself.
“Rid yourself of the tyranny of the cable industry once and for all.”
