believe me-most folks think you have to have a cable to watch TV.When talking about free OTA I just get a blank stare. I am glad folks are keeping the cable. I watch OTA and broadband TV. When everyone starts doing this and the CC
sees a big increase in broadband usage, they will just implement caps and fees on the broadband side. They will get their money one way or another.

Toronto, ON | I dropped the tv years ago. Used to torrent instead. Now I used an unnamed provider of online high quality divx streaming. The internet is my phone, tv and of course internet. I love it! |

Orange, CA | "unnamed provider" sounds like it isn't completely legal. |

I love it! As soon as my Dish contract is up in a few months that will be that, I'll be getting all my video entertainment online and OTA. I live in an area where I can pick up many HD signals OTA and my ISP is a local provider with no caps and no intention of implementing caps. |

i used to live in iowa. you'd be lucky to pick up 3 OTA channels. now i live in the Evanston, IL (about 5 miles from the northside of Chicago) and I pick up at least 30 channels with just a set of rabbit ears. I wish there was more of a push for people to get OTA TV. especially in areas like this. of course some people will want their Discovery channel, HBO and whatnot, and they can pay the $100+/month to do that to the Cable Companies. I'm not going to be one of those people. I have a life and I don't exactly want to spend it in front of the TV.  |
