Folks, I'm a long-time lurker and most of your topics are beyond me, but not this one. I have tried a digital antenna with poor luck. All I got was Plattsburg stations--not including NBC. I live right on the lakeshore--I don't know what effect that has. But I sure would be interested in getting off the Comcast bandwagon. (B Telecom has not come into our condo; so that's not a choice for me.) So I hope if someone tries an antenna we hear the results. I can't remember what kind of antenna I tried except that it was not top of the line.

Sam, I have thinking about the same thing, even if to add to our not-HD wired service. I asked a guy at the Radio Shack in Sherburne Road, about what luck his customers had with digital antennae. He said "Not good". He did say you could buy an antenna from them and try it. If it does not work, return it during the return period. Hope this helps.
