I just recently installed an antenna in our attic after we
cancelled our cable TV, and I've been very pleased with the
results. Here in the Atlanta area, we're getting almost 60
TV channels, plus about 10 audio-only simulcase of several
local radio stations. There's even a channel that displays
a program guide, like the ones you find on the cable or
satellite services.
People's lack of awareness of over-the-air television has
been surprising to me. We had houseguests last week, a
retired couple in their 60's. This is in the age range that
I would expect to be familiar with broadcast TV, having
grown up with it as the predominant, "default" option. And
yet, I was still asked, "so you don't get CNN?"
