The best price for HDTV packages are $0 since it is free OTA.

The best HDTV picture quality without a doubt is free OTA.

I also vote free.
Although if you don't have an antenna, it might cost you a little to
get everything set up initially. Of course, probably not as much as one
month of cable service with HD package would cost.
My set up cost around $125 for the antenna and mast. $50 for all the
cabling and splitter. And $20 for an amp when I split the signal.

Ok, that's two months of cable, but you get the idea. I've had this
set-up at home for well over a year and don't miss any cable channels.
Plus, if you want specific shows now, a few channels are offering
episode downloads and streaming off of their site (for free).

I think the answer to your question depends a lot on what YOU expect
out of television programming. If you're content with the stuff
available on the broadcast networks, then Wes' standard OTA answer is
on target. But if you want more then you have to choose between cable,
satellite, or one of the TELCO options if you are lucky enough to be in
an area where that is offered. I currently have Time-Warner (TWC) and
I'm frustrated by the lack of HD programming currently available. The
TWC outlet in your area may offer more than mine does. But what is
certain is that satellite is in the process of blowing by cable in that
area. It's going to be interesting seeing what the cable industry's
reaction is going to be to DirecTV's announcement of having 100 HD
channels in 2007!

Choosing between the satellite providers is also a personal decision
depending on programming offerings and price points. If you're a
die-hard NFL fan and would like to watch practically any game you want
during the season, then DirectTV is your best option since they have
the exclusive rights to NFL Sunday Ticket. But other than that, I
think Dish Network is a good value and they have more HD content NOW.
Another possibility is using one of the Canadian providers (google BEV
satellite) -- they offer all the U.S. networks' HD feeds and NFL Sunday
Ticket. Since I'm in an OTA HD wasteland (no CBS or Fox), I would do
this if my TV budget was larger! :-) I can't comment on the telephone
companies offerings--perhaps AlanF will chime in on that.

Not sure about OTA. I will try to get in touch with them today about
their service and features. Also, what cables did you guys have to buy
like HDMI types? I have a HTS receiver that i need to use for these
services. I guess i will wait until i make a decision then.

button to get the option plans.

============================
OTA= Over The Air.
It is 100% free after you connect to an antenna.
MOST people can get Free HD/DTV this way if they just
try it.
