Buy a good antenna. The quantity and quality of digital broadcast far exceeds that available 20 years ago.


Where can I find one? How much do they cost? My apartment complex had been paying for cable, but due to cox raising the prices on them, they stopped paying for it. I'm trying to do a cost/benefit analysis on whether or not I should get cable TV when I'll be moving out in just under 3 months. Cox hasn't turned off the cable yet, so I'm still looking (i.e. I want cable, but I don't want to pay $60/month for it just because I like ESPN and CST)

depends on what you need, how far away are the towers, etc

I have this antenna and pre amp and I'm able to pick up all channels. Most of my towers are 19 miles away, but NBC is 37 miles out. Also depends on how long of a run and how many times you split the signal to determine if you need a pre amp.
