I haven't had cable/internet in 10 years, i did put an antenna on top of my house, i bought a dual UHF/VHF from Crutchfield.com for about $60 a couple years ago, and i pick up about 25-30 english channels...and your typical 2,4,7,9,20 & 31 are all in HD. We just added the internet to our house for the first time, using Century Link and now have Netflix which is really nice, and the internet/phone bill is around $60. Very pleased w/ century link.
