I get NBC DTV off-air (from a rooftop antenna), and I would happily get the 
other networks off air if my house were not in a terrain-shadowed 
environment. Channel 12 makes it over the ridge. But UHF? Fergedaboudit.

Reading AVS Forum, it's clear to me that a lot of folks are actually 
getting DTV off-air. One reason is that there is no other alternative in 
many locations. Comcast in my area doesn't offer UPN or The WB DTV signals, 
let alone the independents. They have CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox, and PBS. All the 
rest of their HD tier are national services like HBO.
