[quote=ocrenter]cable and satellite services are a huge scam. you can now get crystal clear HDTV right off your antenna. yet with all of these services, you got to pay extra for the HD.

as for just TV habits in general. is there REALLY a need for 200 channels into each household? I find myself barely getting in 30min to an hour of TV if at that. [/quote]
I avoid commercials, I time shift with Tivo. But I can afford my tivo bill.

Time Warner advertises that they don’t charge extra for HD. But they charge so much in the first place that they don’t need to.

And heaven help you if you want to use a Tivo box and cable cards to get your HD – half of their HD channels are switched digital – which you can’t get with a cable card – only one of their crappy boxes.

no need for Tivo anymore. and make sure you don’t pay for the lifetime Tivo price as I suspect Tivo will be gone in a few short years.

we’re using Windows media center, we bought media extenders for each TV (each extender is $100, get a good computer with decent amount of storage.) no Tivo monthly fee and you get all the benefit of Tivo and you can watch the recorded content on any TV.

[quote=ocrenter]cable and satellite services are a huge scam. you can now get crystal clear HDTV right off your antenna. yet with all of these services, you got to pay extra for the HD.

as for just TV habits in general. is there REALLY a need for 200 channels into each household? I find myself barely getting in 30min to an hour of TV if at that. [/quote]

Using the DB4 antenna at 3ft mount in north San Diego, I am getting KCAL 9.1(LA 9) , KCET(LA PBS 4 channels 28.1-4), KTLA (LA 5.1), KCBS (LA 2.1), KNBC(LA 4.1-3), KOCE(Orange Co PBS 50.1-3), KLCS-TV(LA school PBS kids channel 58.1-4), KPXN-DT (San Bernardino ION channels (30.1-4), KAZA-TV TV (LA spanish). So you can get some LA sports that are blocked by cable and satellite. HA!

Just use Rich’s link for Amazon and type in DB4.

Unfortunately with 2 young kids, I will need Noggin Channel. They only available in cable/satellite, but I agreed that the cable/satellite is a big waste of money for something that you actually watch for 2 hours/week.
