    Nothing really new. I built an antenna a couple years ago to receive "local" channels in HD as my cable provider didn't have them in the lineup at the time. I was getting pretty obscene range with mine, I could pick up signals in Eureka, CA, and my antenna was inside.

        When the channels were fuzzy, did you put a coat hanger on the antenna, grab it and point north to clear up the signal?

          I haven't had cable for years. Just wasn't worth the price for the few channels I would watch. And my rooftop antenna, now that everything has switched to digital, picks up a bunch of channels PERFECTLY, including HD (though my TV doesn't exactly take full advantage of that). I was kind of annoyed by the forced switch to digital, but I needed a new TV anyway, and the beauty of the digital broadcast is that if it comes in at ALL, it comes in perfectly.

            I haven't had cable in years either, because I have sattlelite.

            However, I know quite a few people that don't have a paid subscription to TV services and just watch TV via the internet.

              All you need is the internet, an external HD and an Xbox.....no need for cable or satellite.
              Now you'd never call Erwin a "Wussy"
              Nor label his working day "cushy"
              But you might have to question
              His endless obsession
              With superpositional pussy.

                I am seriously contemplating this as an alternative
                I LOVE conspiracy theorists. They are like human versions of the cymbal clapping, dancing monkeys. No one takes them all that seriously and they get bored with them after about 10 minutes.

                  It's worked really well for me the last 5 months...I see everything that comes out and in HD. I've also got Netflix and a Live account, so I can stream any thing else I might want.

                    Yo.

                    see, I cant get behind that cuz I dont give a rats about HD, and the fact that theres TONS of sites w/free content means I wouldnt/shouldnt bother with giving Netflix $$$; I can find it all on my own.

                    sure, I may hafta goto Russia to see something, but wat the hey..........
