I’m one of them, I dumped TV!!! Currently, I use an antenna and Channel Master HD/DVR with dual tuners to pick up/DVR around 45 free OTA stations. Couple that with netflix, and my family now watches a lot less TV, but we enjoy the little we do watch. No more mindlessly watching Pawn Stars, Chopped, Storage Wars, etc..
I recommend it for all.
The only issue is the cable sports, and even that can be worked around. For the naysayers when it comes to that, it’s the only time I am actually forced to watch commercials ;)
One thing I will never do is move to a major major area to get more OTA TV channels. We get around 5 here: plenty. I actually watch PBS HD on occasion just for the nature shows. The author was bitching about PBS being bundled but I would miss those.
