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.

I am seriously contemplating this as an alternative

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..........
