I canceled cable last summer when they dropped my broadband cable
discount. I get OTA channels from an outdoor UHF antenna still mounted
in my living room on top of a tall bookcase. However there is no CW HD
channel in Gainesville and the NBC VHF channel 9 reception is horrid so
I supplement with various downloads as needed.
I probably will not be staying here in Gainesville at my current rented
duplex so I'm not willing to do much more for now in the way of
antennas. I hope to find a job back in Jacksonville where my previous
experience was that OTA worked a bit better.
