I'm getting closer and closer to doing the same thing outside of the NFL regular season... can't really get NFL any other way, though, especially if you want to watch a team other than your local team.

I just have digital rabbit ears and I get 15 channels. The channels cover everything that a very basic cable package would cover for free. Even if I could afford $100 on TV, I wouldn't do it. The mere thought of paying $100 a month on TV makes me sick. Just like when I had netflix, I would feel obligated and enslaved to get 'my moneys worth'.

RayB:
I tried to ditch sat or cable. Bought a $60 VHF/UHF/HD/FM antenae and got jack all. 1 fuzzy channel.

Here's the thing about the digital conversion: If you got crap before, you'll get crap now reception wise. Personally, my reception drastically improved with digital.

Oh, and store bought antennas suck. Build your own with metal coat hangers and a block of wood.

ChadTower:

The digital signals are harder to watch with iffy reception.  Where a person before could get away with a snowy pic the digital signal breaks up, pauses, skips and you can't watch it at all.  You need better reception now than you did before.  I'm working on that with my mother now as I just set up her converter box a couple weeks ago.
