You have to buy a digital converter. There are 2 channel 2s, 2 7s, 4 44s. There are more free channels than ever. Add a roku and you have more than cable but free. This is what I do in Truro.

If it's a matter of live tv or one-time shows, then you're probably SOL. If it's a tv series you need, check out HuluPlus. They have most shows available for streaming within 24 hours of airtime (except CBS or NBC, I forget which). $8/month
I've been on the road a lot more lately than usual and got a subscription for the misses a couple weeks ago. Much less whining about me being on the road than she usually does. |

I just looked into what roku offers. You don't need cable unless you want to pay for HBO, etc., produced programs. The Nowhere Channel offers thousands of free choices. Google Roku and brace yourselves. I've had Roku and only used it for Netflix. There is WAY WAY more there. I'm stunned.

You can use a TiVo box with an antenae, and also get Netflix, Hulu, Pandora, YouTube, etc...
20 bux a month for the TiVo service, (or $500 for life... The OTA tv signal is free of course) then add netflix, not much need for roku if you get the major networks with your antenna...
