I wanted to hear it from any of you guys out there with HDTV antennas. I'm planning on dropping my Verizon services and going just with Amazon Instant and Comcast Internet. No Landline either.
How many channels do you get with the antennas? How is the picture quality? I've heard that you may need to try out a few different brands to see which one works best for your area.

No such thing as an HDTV antenna...its a hoax to make you buy crap you don't need.
Any antenna with a coax cable will work.Very good friend of mine is using a a 70s era roof top antenna with a rotor and receives almost every broadcast station in New England and parts of New York in crystal clear HD.

the day has arrived where the scales of BALANCE
have tipped far to the right of what used to be
a fair trade.... for your money..... for tv shows
the advertising is excessive to the point its ridiculous
and you cannot enjoy a movie unless you can fast forward
right thru tv adds... because you pre recorded it
and then on top of the picture your watching is EVEN more
advertising :point: moving ads for up coming shows
or tv station emblems :point: that never go away
Netflicks is looking better ....but you have to
own a box to intercept their feed
i aint shelling out 600 for a PS4

Interesting, I tried to do that in Harwich and Comcast told me: Nope, cable and internet bundle only. So now I pay way too much for it. Mind sending me a pm with some info on you plan? Did it have a name or did you negotiate it?
Thanks and good luck, please post how it goes once you have it hooked up.

if you go on the comcast website they advertise the blast internet for 59.99 i believe. i called and confirmed i can get internet only. we have access to fios and comcast here in billerica, so not sure if they allow internet only plans because of the competition. i'll let you know how i make out.
