A year without cable tv ( OTA HDTV )

I will end up saving far more than the HDTV and equipment I purchased
over the past year.

"Since January I have watched several new TV shows and the major
sporting events; Almost all of them were in glorious HDTV. With only
minor changes to our viewing habits I have kicked the cable TV to the
curb and gone 100% OTA for network and local broadcasts. It might
surprise some people that someone with a HDTV might not have cable
service. In reality dropping cable TV was an excellent choice for our
hourhold."

Otherwise I applaud your efforts.

Weird... it's just a simple blogspot.com page.. nothing special. I
would say "works for me" but the plumbing on the "interwebs" pipes must
be clogged.

Ahhhhh... you use IE and it was rendering a opaque white square over
the text... sweet ( fixed now )

It loads just fine for me.

The problem is that when he dropped his cable service, he turned off his
internet service as well! vbg

Doh, is that what that plug was!

Actually my task for this year is dropping the cable modem once I mount
a high gain WiFi antenna as well. ;-)

=======================================
I have to agree.
I have only had OTA for over a year now and I watch some wonderful HD
programs.
