I cut the cord a few years ago and went just with free Antenna channels. Here near the PC courthouse I have a Terk HDTVo antenna, and I get most of the major networks without problem, but I think ABC is usually glitchy for me. I bought a Tivo box, whatever was the 'current' mid-level HD oneone back then, and used Tivo for recording/DVR, it also supported Amazon and Tivo streaming, so it was a pretty decent system, and the only costs were Tivo ($14/mo and netflix ($12, I think back then). Not bad. There wasn't enough kids programming available at the time, so we went to DishNet after about
