[QUOTE="Bagels, post: 1170872, member: 43436"] I live in a detached, single family home but in a co-op; my home was built in the mid-1970s and has cable-like outlets to hook-up TVs to a rooftop antenna. So I tried that set-up for awhile, until my co-op association sued me (rooftop antennas no longer allowed) and I had to fork over a pair of paychecks to cover that nasty letter they had sent to me; I replaced the set-up with a very small antenna booster on my roof (boosts the strength of bunny ears). Honestly, it worked just as well -- the only channels I lost were the ones that marginally / inconsistently came in with the rooftop antenna. The quality of digital, antenna-based TV is very good. And I enjoy watching the digital substations -- most of the programming is ancient, but I've never seen Alfred Hitchcock, All in the Family or Sanford and Son & find them to be entertaining. The only thing that sucks is that the programming is inconsistent -- digital substations come and go. In the last few months, we've lost ABC News Now, Cool TV (showed actual music videos) and a 90s-orientated substation that showed Married w/Children, Home Improvement, etc. Last year I found out that it's actually cheaper to bundle Comcast internet with basic cable than it is to subscribe to just internet. They include TBS and WGW with basic cable, and if you ask for a converter box, you get OWN as well. It's what I've been using in lieu of antennas. [/QUOTE]
