I am exploring dropping the cable TV service (but keeping the Comcast internet - its the only broadband option available to us) in favor of online and OTA. I have three TVs in use in the house and no other gear to use for OTA.
What equipment, costs and trade-offs am I looking at to bring the major network stations from Albany to my house OTA? What would you recommend, if anything?
Thanks!

If it were me, before I disconnected any cable service, I'd make sure that receiving Albany stations will work reliably....I've been to Bennington many, many times, and driving from Troy to Bennington, I remember a very tall hill (mountain?) I would have to cross, and especially those hair-raising "S" turns before getting into the Bennington area...you might want to check it out first, as the 2edge remarks on your TVFool report confirms my suspicions...
