I thought I remembered, that if you had one of the new TV with a built-in HD receivers, that you could receive some channels w/o cable service?

I'm ready to dump Metrocast cable, and just use my Apple TV service, where I already get NetFlix streaming video for $7.99 a month, and also a boat-load of other offerings on a al-arcarte pricing basis.

Comments?
Depending on where you live, you may get over 20 HD channels, FREE, with just an antenna. I'm always surprised how few people know this still exists. The Cable Co's have done a good job selling a fake monopoly. I'm 35 miles west of Boston and I get 26 HD channels. But, at the lake on Cow Island I'm in a signal black hole and get nothing. Some at the Lake do get Boston, Maine, and Manchester channels though.
