OTA (Over The Air) Digital Antenna Test and getting rid of DirecTV

Moving to Digital air waves and Cutting the cord/dish. Passive antenna RCA ANT111R, powered Terk HDTVa. RCA picked up 28 stations, Terk 33 stations. However most of th extra channels were religious, shopping, and spanish. The plan is to go with the new Tivo that pulls from the web as well as OTA (over the air). I will do a vid on that when it happens.

Just what I was looking for! I just cancelled DirectTV as well and am going the Netflix/Hulu/Vudu route.

@XoZeProductionsInc Glad I could help :)

I cancelled dish network two weeks ago after 4 years of having it. They were charging me 60/month and to tell you the truth, I didn't watch that many shows. All of the tv channels from dish were in standard definition and not HD. If I wanted to watch HD content I would have to pay extra for that. The cost of keeping the service was just way too high for me to keep it, so I decided to try Netflix and OTA.

I am glad I switched to Netflix and purchased an HD antenna. Saved me lots of money.

@23mrtimes I was in the same boat.  I am glad it working for you. Cord cutters unite :P

Usually DirecTV and Dish compress the signals into MPEG4. So you loose SOME detail. But for DirecTV's defense It's not bad. I have DirecTV and HD with my Vizio 32". I also have a OTA antenna. Looks the same IMHO!
