Well Lisa, best of luck with that! Some find it hard to do, but we are going on a year w/o sat service now. Sometimes going the antenna route isn't the easiest, but it can save some cash for you, even if you upgrade stuff like I have. I now have two antennas and two dual tuner HDHomeruns, which are feeding my "home theater" PC for DVR and viewing duties. (yeah, I'm a bit geeky) Even with what I've spent on antenna related upgrades, I'm still saving vs sat service. The beauty is that those are one-time costs! We get all of the major networks now, plus the subchannels have tripled our PBS channels, which we watch a good bit of. We did pick up Netflix service for @ $11/mth to get blu-rays by mail plus streaming.
