CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. – Those in the Clarksville area who are convinced that cable and satellite are the only viable options in television service haven't met Jeffrey Jerkins, son of well-known local pastor the Rev. Jerry Jerkins.

Jeffrey of Clarksville and his brother, Mark Anthony Jerkins of Atlanta, have formed Wi-Fi Internet-based "Gr8r TV" (pronounced "Greater TV"), promising more than 2,500 channels for less than $30 a month, anywhere their customers have Wi-Fi access.

"Gr8r TV is a team of geeks and nerds specializing in helping businesses and families migrate away from old, obsolete forms of television to the new and amazing form of television — Internet TV," Jeffrey Jerkins said.

"We provide expert technical advice, guidance and information, helping our clients get the ideal Internet TV solution," he said. Gr8r TV services include technical assistance in the setup of Internet TV systems, as well as technical support, helping clients with upgrades and more.

Initial detailed consultations are free.

"We provide a way for people to save money as an alternative. What we offer is a solution where you can eliminate all the fees and hidden costs that people are fed up with, and at the same time, get more in channel selection.

"It works off of Wi-Fi. As long as you have access to a Wi-Fi signal, you can watch TV when you want, where you want and how you want," he said, "even while traveling on business or vacation. In fact many of today's cars have DVD players with auxiliary inputs. As long as there is Wi-Fi capability, anything you're accustomed to watching at home you can watch anywhere else, on any type of TV."

Internet TV also provides access to Web-based business meetings, "a wealth of educational and international programming" and much more.

"We help you get the account set up, and then we turn the monthly routine billing over to the customer and service provider.

"Once there is an account established, up to 10 TVs can be activated for the same price of $29 a month," Jerkins said.
