> there is good digital over the air programming out

And if you want a real hoot, look for the 'extra' hdtv over-the-air channels
like me-tv, cozi, this-tv, get-tv, and a couple of more. Classics (read: no
or low fee to the broadcaster) like the Carol Burnett Show, Gunsmoke, My
Favorite Martian, Miami Vice, Fantasy Island, and tons more shows you have
forgotten about. And some you wish you had.
