Re: Huh?

where do I find out what's available OTA digital here ...?
Here are a few of good resources about local reception:
»www.antennaweb.org/aw/welcome.aspx
»tvfool.com/
»www.rabbitears.info/

If you have a more technical interest here is a great tutorial about OTA on the HDTV Primer site. This is more about the nuts and bolts of OTA reception.

»www.titantv.com : This is another good one. Punch in your zip code and it will give you the DTV listings for your area.

For me, out of a possible ~40 channels, I'm getting 25 (most clearly) w/ the Digital Stream box from RadioShack and a cheap pair of rabbit ears. On analog, I was lucky to pull in maybe 8 channels that were (at minimum) watchable.

My curiosity is piqued so now I DO want to put an antenna up outdoors. Maybe I, like some, just don't want to shell out ~40/month for basic cable.
