I will move sometime over the next few months and I cancelled my cable tv service a few weeks ago. I got some rabbit ears, but I really could only pick up a few channels and they were snowy. But I went to US government digital TV website and honestly said that my only source of tv signals was an antenna. They sent me two $40 coupons for a digital converter box. I bought a converter with one of the coupons and hooked it up. Whoa! I get 17 channels and they are better than cable ever was. It really is unbelievable!

I don't watch that much TV anyway. I may just forget about cable!

The picture quality did seem great. However, the quality did seem to be location-specific. I use the tv in my motorhome while travelling. Those channels I could tune in clear were super clear; but other channels would break-up (and look almost like a video game) as they tried to build. The distinction being, old analog might be a bit fuzzy if a weak signal vs. inconsistent or no picture with digital.
