rfuerst911sc,
We are currently in two homes. In one, we have basic cable and the other, which is way out in the country (where cable is not available), we use an antenna. We get more channels with the antenna (25) than we get with our basic cable (12). Take a look at the attached link (
AntennaWeb - Address) and enter your address and you will get a good idea of the channels that you may get (we receive lots more than what this revealed but it is a starting point!). The selection on antenna is MUCH better than what we experience with cable PLUS it is free!!!
My neighbor went tested many antennas starting at the Walmart cheapest through the Walmart most expensive $99. The $99 version, by far, worked the best (
Clearstream 2V-J3 - Walmart.com).
